LabHome Pylori-Screen Helicobacter Test
LabHome diagnostic tests enable early diagnosis or exclusion of many common diseases in the shortest possible time, ensuring the comfort of testing - independently and without leaving home. Additionally, LabHome tests allow for the assessment of the physiological condition of organs, hormone diagnostics, and the detection of fertility problems.
PYLORI-Screen is a rapid, highly specific immunological test for the detection of anti-HP antibodies from whole blood obtained from a finger prick. When Helicobacter pylori is present in the stomach epithelium, the immune system produces specific antibodies against the bacteria (anti-HP).
Indications
The PYLORI-Screen test should be performed when the patient experiences recurring abdominal pain (pain in the stomach area, nausea, indigestion, reflux). The test can be performed at any time of day.
The presence of highly pathogenic strains of Helicobacter pylori (HP) colonizing the surface of the stomach or intestinal epithelium can cause chronic gastritis, which can lead to ulceration or even cancer. Currently, 90% of patients with stomach ulcers are diagnosed with an HP infection. Proper diagnosis allows for the detection of the bacteria and subsequent initiation of effective antibiotic therapy to completely eliminate the pathogen. During the infection, the immune system produces specific antibodies against the bacteria. Detecting circulating immunoglobulins is the most effective way to diagnose the infection. A positive result may be obtained in patients previously infected with Helicobacter pylori.
Usage:
The test is performed on blood. To do this, obtain a drop of blood from your fingertip (automatic lancing device included), then apply the blood with diluent to the sample window. Wait 10 minutes and read the result. Check whether an urgent consultation with a doctor is necessary.
