SAT (stool antigen test)


Explanation:
Stool antigen tests (SATs) are noninvasive diagnostic modules for Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Two types of SATs exist for the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, one based on enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and another on immunochromatography (ICA). SATs do not require expensive chemical agents or specified equipment; hence, they are less expensive compared with the urea breath test. Both European and Japanese guidelines have shown that EIA-based SATs using monoclonal antibodies are useful for primary diagnosis as well as for the assessment of eradication therapy.

Diagnosis
Tests and procedures used to determine whether you have an H. pylori infection include:

Blood test. Analysis of a blood sample may reveal evidence of an active or previous H. pylori infection in your body. However, breath and stool tests are better at detecting active H. pylori infections than is a blood test.
Breath test. During a breath test, you swallow a pill, liquid or pudding that contains tagged carbon molecules. If you have an H. pylori infection, carbon is released when the solution is broken down in your stomach.

Your body absorbs the carbon and expels it when you exhale. You exhale into a bag, and your doctor uses a special device to detect the carbon molecules.

Acid-suppressing drugs known as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol) and antibiotics can interfere with the accuracy of this test. Your doctor will ask you to stop taking those medications for a week or two weeks before you have the test. This test is available for adults and children.

Stool test. A laboratory test called a stool antigen test looks for foreign proteins (antigens) associated with H. pylori infection in your stool. As with the breath test, PPIs and bismuth subsalicylate can affect the results of this test, so your doctor will ask you to stop taking them for two weeks before the test.

COMPARISON OF STOOL ANTIGEN TEST MONOLAB® AND UREA BREATH TEST FOR DIAGNOSIS OF HELICOBACTER PYLORI INFECTION.

https://www.ueg.eu/education/document/comparison-of-stool-an...

Introducción: De acuerdo con las guías clínicas vigentes, el test del antígeno en heces puede ser una alternativa al test de aliento (TA) para el diagnóstico de la infección por Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) si se utiliza una prueba monoclonal y de laboratorio (ELISA). Desde el año 2015, se ha incorporado al SNS-0 el MonolabTest (AgH), un test monoclonal inmunocromatográfico no ELISA.
Objetivos: comparar la precisión diagnóstica del antígeno en heces Monolab Test (AgH) para el diagnóstico no invasivo de la infección por H. pylori, tomando como estándar oro el TA.

Reference: Two resources

Reference information:
Cosnautas is the most comprehensive online resource for Spanish medical acronyms. You would have found PAU there, but not AGH.

We also have a printed book of Spanish medical acronyms: Medical Abbreviations Spanish-English, by Ian Beattie, with over 14,000 acronyms plus the English equivalent of each. This one also lacks the meaning of AGH that you need here, but gives you PAU in Spanish as well as its English equivalent: Urea Breath Test (UBT). (Published by Editorial Club Universitario in Spain.)

Antígeno en heces?

El test del aliento y una prueba de laboratorio monoclonal validada de determinación de antígeno en heces son las pruebas no invasivas recomendadas para confirmar el éxito del tratamiento erradicador. La serología no estaría indicada para este supuesto. (Nivel de evidencia: 1a; grado de recomendación: A)*

Page 5
Se han desarrollado varios métodos de diagnóstico para la detección de H. pylori, teniendo sus propias ventajas y limitaciones; la elección de uno u otro dependerá de la disponibilidad y accesibilidad, del laboratorio y de las condiciones clínicas propias de los pacientes. Éstos se dividen generalmente en pruebas invasivas y no invasivas. Las invasivas incluyen la endoscopia, histología y el test rápido de la ureasa. Las no invasivas comprenden la prueba del aliento con urea, la búsqueda del antígeno en heces, exámenes moleculares y pruebas serológicas.

Comparar la exactitud de tres tipos diferentes de pruebas para H pylori. Éstas son: las pruebas de urea en el aliento, los análisis de sangre (el análisis de sangre específico se llama serología) y las pruebas de materia fecal (en heces).
