Prima Home Test Helicobacter Pylori Antigen Test on Feces - Testing for Estomac Infections

WHAT IS HELICOBACTER PYLORI (Hp)? It is a bacterium whose natural habitat is the human gastric mucosa and whose transmission occurs through the exchange of infected material oro-oral and oro-fecal. It is an extremely widespread infection: about 2/3 of the population suffers from it. It is estimated that about 80-90% of gastritis and stomach ulcers originate precisely from this bacterium. It has also been found that Helicobacter pylori infection can increase the predisposition to stomach cancer in those who have been infected with it. WHAT DOES THE ANTIGENIC TEST DETECT? PRIMA Lab's Helicobacter pylori Feces test detects Helicobacter pylori antigens in stool samples, highlighting a possible ongoing infection. Antigenic stool testing is considered one of the main methods of identifying the bacteria: timely diagnosis makes it possible to continue appropriate antibiotic therapy, with positive results in 80-90% of cases. SYMPTOMS INFECTION IN HELICOBACTER PYLORI. Although HP infection is often asymptomatic, the most common symptoms are those that affect the gastrointestinal area: pain and heartburn, especially on an empty stomach, nausea and vomiting, digestive difficulties, gastric reflux, diarrhea, weight loss and appetite. Adversely influencing the proper absorption of nutrients by the intestine, the infection is often related to states of deficiency of iron, calcium and vitamins. SIMPLE AND SAFE.
