What is HP antibody?

　　In clinical terms, HP antibody refers to Helicobacter pylori antibody. Helicobacter pylori antibody is a specific antibody produced following infection with Helicobacter pylori.

　　Helicobacter pylori is a common pathogen responsible for various diseases such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and duodenal bulb ulcers. After infection of human organ tissues with Helicobacter pylori, the body's immune system is activated, triggering defense mechanisms that produce antibodies specifically targeting this bacterium. These antibodies can inhibit bacterial growth and reproduction or even eliminate the pathogen.

　　Helicobacter pylori antibodies can be detected through the Helicobacter pylori antibody IgG test, which plays a positive role in identifying the causes of disorders in gastric, duodenal, and other gastrointestinal tissues.
