Parietal cell antibody test

The private Dr says that the biopsy results for the Autoimmune Gastrtis will be negative, as the parietal cell antibody test was negative. I would have thought that both the parietal cell antibody test and the biopsies would be positive if I had pernicious anaemia / autoimmune gastritis.

Hi all, do I need to discontinue B12 injections for a period of time in order to obtain a reliable result from a parietal cell antibody test? I currently SI every third day. Many thanks

However, he did agree to give me the IFAB test and the parietal cell antibody test. He also retested my serum B12 and folate. I’ve just had a text saying my B12 is now 429 and my folate is now normal at 24 which is on the high side now. I’m a bit baffled as to what to think now.

I am still awaiting another test result for anti parietal cell antibody which my GP did last week.

I am awaiting the results of a Parietal cell antibody test. Do these tests reveal anything further especially the B12 active and MMA?

Prior to starting any injections my parietal cell antibody test was positive but completely normal gastrin - I would assume gastrin would be high as my new dr suspects PA.

He recommended I get a parietal cell antibody test. Now for the confusion and uncertainty created in me. I requested a PCA antibody test from my GP who text me to inform me that the lab does not do it instead they do an Autoimmune Profile. This came back negative.

Finally from Israel I was advised to get the Intrinsic Factor Antibody Blood Test and the Parietal Cell Antibody Blood Test. Pernicious Anemia. I have to take a shot of Methylcobalamin daily.

Just wondering whether any members have had this test? I'm not really thinking about those who have had a B12 deficiency (or suspected Pernicious Anaemia) followed up by this test. Rather has anyone had done spontaneously as the link below [i]appears[/i] to imply. As I read it, the words say GPC should

Hello, I'm experiexperiencing Gerd , I was diagnosticated with it long time ago in 2019 but since then I didn't pay so much attention to it the symptom wasn't so bad and most of them was threated with anti-acid like Gaviscon and such or sometimes the reprepazol(pariet) but now it starts to be worse so

She also had a homocysteine test that came back low, so the docs said she did not need the parietal cell antibody test because of that. Do you all think she should definitely have the test for parietal cell antibodies as well to rule it out or am I being too paranoid?

Another interesting paper. I have long believed that metabolomics might hold a key, or even a bunch of keys, to the impact of thyroid disorders. We know very well that some things are associated with high or low thyroid hormone levels but have little beyond that association. Metabolomics might

His b12 wasn't checked but his gastric parietal cell antibody was positive. His allergy test was also high, which they now want test further for. Does having gastric parietal cell antibodies, always mean pernicious aneamia?

After the help I had yesterday, another question.Can I ask if a multi b vitamin is necessary? The dr I saw at the start says no, as you can get most from food, I have read on a fb group about taking multi b's and I did for a short time take the recommended ones, without b6 though. I know that b6 can

Just read a bit of the article linked lower down: [i]In a 2016 study of gingko biloba supplements bought in London, 33 out of 35 showed evidence of adulteration or extract levels which were too high or low; when a UCL and BBC team looked at 70 milk-thistle, evening primrose and gingko supplements, 36%

Iodine - again! My reading of this suggests that, in the general population, we want to see [i]relatively[/i] high selenium levels. And, in particular, we want that state [u][i]before[/i][/u] any increase in iodine levels - whether from diet, iodised salt or other sources. We might find that this state

If anyone of you would be willing to share your personal experience with Vitamin D that would be appreciated. All good with what is thought to be true in the medicial field I am well versed in that angle. I have taken D3 with K2 and the results were not definitive so I discontinued. I have lived

I got a newsletter from the RNIB (a charity I support as I am severely visully impaired). In the latest edition there is a case study of a man who had suddenly gone blind from something called Temporal Arteritis. Now I know from being on here for years that is also called Giant cell arteritis or GCA

Hi, I was diagnosed with GCA in October, 2024 and started Tocilizumab injections on 4th December, I’m also on a reducing dose of Prednisolone (4mg) We had our holiday booked and insurance arranged before I was ill. I contacted the insurance company in December to advise them of a Change of Health and
