Accuracy of stool antigen test - hpylori
Hello Doctor. I took stool antigen for hpylori. Result came NOT DETECTED. 12 days before the test I took sompraz L (PPI) as a 10 days course. I have doubt whether this ppi had affected the test. Whether ppi has any impact on the test? Are the result accurate? Do I need to repeat the test again or it is not necessary? Please suggest.
