Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that lives in the gastric mucosa, is positive for more than half of people over the age of 40, and is closely related to gastritis, gastric ulcers, and stomach cancer. Until now, blood antibody tests could only determine whether or not a person had been infected in the past, and diagnosing H. pylori required a urea breath test or a biopsy with a gastroscope. People who have H. pylori in their stomach excrete the bacteria in their stool, so a stool H. pylori antigen test can determine whether the bacteria are actually present.
When you undergo a health checkup, you can add this test as an option.
