Anti-helicobacter pylori antibody detection is high what

A high level of anti-H. pylori antibodies indicates a possible H. pylori infection.

H. pylori is a common stomach pathogen. When people are infected with H. pylori, the immune system produces antibodies to fight it. Anti-H. pylori antibody testing detects the presence and level of these antibodies. A high level of detection indicates a greater possibility of infection, but it cannot be diagnosed by this single result.

For anti-H. pylori antibodies, it cannot be taken lightly. If it is a current infection with related symptoms, such as stomachache, acid reflux, heartburn, halitosis, or stomach diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, or a family history of gastric cancer, active treatment is required. Treatment usually includes a combination of drugs to effectively eradicate H. pylori.
