HELICOBACTER PYLORI HOME TEST KIT

The Prima Test Helicobacter Pylori Test detects antibodies specific to Helicobacter pylori (Hp), which are not found in individuals who have never been infected.

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative bacterium that chronically infects more than half of the global population. It is a leading cause of chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, gastric cancer, and mucosa-associated lymphoma. While many people carry the bacterium without symptoms due to a balance between its harmful potential and their immune defenses, those with weakened immune systems are more vulnerable.

Hp thrives in the acidic environment of the stomach, protected by a layer of mucus, where it can cause significant damage, including chronic gastritis and ulcers—accounting for about 90% of gastric ulcers. Around half of infected individuals experience no symptoms, but others may have gastritis and a strong burning sensation in the stomach.

This infection can be effectively treated with specific antibiotics when diagnosed and treated early.
