The Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) antibody, IgA test is a blood test that detects the presence of IgA antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in response to an H. pylori infection. Antibodies are proteins that help the body identify and neutralise harmful pathogens like H. pylori. This test detects an infection caused by H. pylori bacteria, which typically affect the stomach or duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). An H. pylori infection can lead to inflammation and irritation of the stomach lining (gastritis) and is a common cause of stomach ulcers and peptic ulcer disease. Additionally, chronic H. pylori infections have been linked to an increased risk of developing stomach (gastric) cancer over time. IgA levels in serum, saliva, and gastric juice are higher in H. pylori-positive patients, particularly in saliva and gastric juice. This is significant because IgA plays a key role in the local immune response, especially in mucosal areas like the stomach and mouth.
