Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required; the test can be performed on a non-fasting serum sample.
What does a positive IgM result mean?
Positive IgM indicates recent or active Helicobacter pylori infection, often associated with acute gastritis or early peptic ulcer disease.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are typically available within 24–48 hours from sample receipt at our NABL ISO-accredited laboratory.
Can antibiotics affect the IgM result?
Antibiotics may reduce bacterial load but do not immediately clear IgM antibodies; recent antibiotic use should be disclosed to your clinician for accurate interpretation.
Is stress a risk factor for H. pylori infection?
Stress does not cause H. pylori infection, which is bacterial, but it may worsen ulcer symptoms or delay healing.
