Starts from 360*
The H. pylori test is prescribed to check the presence of the Helicobacter pylori bacteria in the person’s system. These bacteria cause infection in the digestive tract and can lead to serious complications, if left untreated or undetected. The infection caused by Helicobacter pylori is a common one. Often people infected do not show any obvious symptoms. The body’s immune system can tackle it, but, in rare cases, fatal symptoms can develop, like leading to stomach cancer. This test is also known as H. pylori stool antigen, rapid urease test (RUT) for H. pylori, urea breath test, and H. pylori breath tests.

AN OVERVIEW
About Helicobacter Pylori Test
Why is the Helicobacter Pylori test done?
The Helicobacter pylori bacterium infection is common and is often seen in young children. The resistance towards this bacterial infection is often developed naturally. If symptoms do develop, it can be due to the formation of peptic ulcers. While the reason behind this resistance or the development of symptoms is not known, treatment for H.pylori is present for people who test positive.
The most common sign of this infection is the development of stomach ulcers and gastritis. This test is usually prescribed when a person shows the following symptoms of having ulcers:
- Sudden and unexplained weight loss
- Nausea
- Bloating
- Loss of appetite
- Constant and dull pain in the abdomen/belly
- Feeling a burning sensation when the stomach is empty
- Frequent burping
When ulcers bleed into the intestine, it can lead to the development of the following symptoms:
- Dark stool
- Feeling dizzy
- Difficulty in breathing
- Constantly feeling tired
- Skin becomes pale
- Sharp stomach aches
- Vomits with blood in it
The test is prescribed as a screening test when people are at a risk of contracting the infection. The risk factors include:
- Living in a crowded and congested area where the person shares a room with multiple people.
- Living in areas where there is a dearth of clean water supply.
- Being in close contact with a person already infected with the H. pylori bacteria.
What does the Helicobacter Pylori test measure?
The H. pylori test is done to check for the antibodies developed to counter the H. pylori bacteria. When the body is infected, the immune system counters the attack from the antigen with specific antibodies.
Often the H. pylori infection is contracted during childhood. But, as mentioned above, the bacteria rarely has the chance to become an infection within the body. But, once the antigen gets activated, it can lead to serious complications, including stomach cancers.
Potential risks/side effects associated with the Helicobacter Pylori test
The Helicobacter Pylori test is done via various means, but blood testing for antibodies is the most effective and assured way to determine if a person is infected or not.
Blood collection is done by experienced phlebotomists and hence the collection process poses no serious side effects or risks. That said, people who are anemic might feel dizzy or nauseous. This can be overcome with rest and by eating healthy iron-rich food.
