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

My GP for some reason cannot give the MMA blood test or active B12. 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 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.

This study aimed to characterize the distinct metabolic profiles associated with thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) positivity in female patients with HT.

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?

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.

Hello everyone, I've had two months of GCA-type pain and a week of pain resembling PMR. It's debilitating, and I'm not closer to a diagnosis.
