helicobacter pylori breath (urea) tests and upper endoscopy tests. What form of examination is appropriate for consideration? My IgG level is 3.80.What are the precise results of both tests? How much of the percentage % accurate?

Answer:

Hi, both the Helicobacter pylori breath urea test and upper endoscopy are commonly used to diagnose this infection. The IgG levels you mentioned refer to an antibody that your body produces in response to the bacteria. Elevated IgG levels may indicate a previous or current infection with H. pylori.

You are recommended discussing your test results and symptoms with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment options. They can provide specific guidance on the best course of action based on your individual situation. Treatment for H. pylori infection often involves a combination of antibiotics and acid-reducing medications.
