Features:
- 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: it suffers about 2/3 of the population. It is estimated that about 80 to 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 gastric cancer in those who have been infected with it.
- What is the antigen test? The PRIMA Lab Helicobacter pylori stool test detects Helicobacter pylori antigens inside fecal samples, highlighting a possible ongoing infection. Antigen stool test is considered one of the main methods of identifying the bacteria: timely diagnosis allows to continue with good antibiotic therapy, with positive results in 80-90% of cases.
- Symptoms of Helicobacter Pylori infection. Although HP infection is often asymptomatic, the most common symptoms are those that affect the gastrointestinal area: pain and heartburn, especially when fasting, nausea and vomiting, difficulties during digestion, gastric reflux, diarrhea, weight loss and appetite. By negatively affecting the proper absorption of nutrients by the intestine, the infection is often related to states of deficiency of iron, calcium and vitamins.

The Helicobacter pylori stool test is equipped with all the elements necessary to perform the procedure safely, including instructions for use in Italian and a video tutorial that will show you how to easily carry out the sample collection.
