Gut Function Assessment provides evaluation of the digestive function, immune function maintenance, mucosal integrity, inflammatory status, and gluten tolerance of the gastrointestinal system. It can accurately reflect intestinal inflammation responses, differentiate Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) & Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), assess pancreatic digestive function, identify bloating or diarrhea caused by gluten sensitivity, and evaluate intestinal immune function risks. This comprehensive information on gut health helps physicians accurately diagnose complex cases and provide more appropriate healthcare.

Gut Function Health Assessment Test Applications
- Helicobacter Pylori Antigen
Helicobacter pylori infection commonly leads to gastritis. Clinical studies have shown that over 95% of patients with duodenal ulcers and more than 90% of those with gastric ulcers are associated with H. pylori infection.
Recent research also suggests that H. pylori infection may be a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. Early diagnosis can help prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal inflammation and ulcers.
