The use of serology tests for H. pylori has been declining in recent years. More than half of the global population is seropositive for H. pylori, leading to low positive predictive values for current disease and restricting the usefulness of serology testing.

Recent guidelines have recommended testing for current disease using a non-invasive method such as stool antigen testing instead of serology. Due to a lack of clinical utility, insurance companies have begun denying coverage for H. pylori serology testing, further expediting laboratory replacement of serology with other, more informative, non-invasive testing methods such as stool antigen testing.

Stool antigen tests are resource and workflow-friendly while satisfying these guidelines. H. pylori stool antigen tests only detect current disease, making them ideal for test-of-cure analysis post-treatment. The H. PYLORI QUIK CHEK™ test is a non-invasive stool antigen test that assists in detecting current disease within minutes. The H. PYLORI QUIK CHEK™ test provides reliable and actionable results with excellent performance and flexibility leading to improved patient outcomes.
