Utilization of an Automated Latex Agglutination Turbidity Assay for Assessing Gastric Mucosal Alteration during < em > Helicobacter pylori < /em > Infection

CONCLUSIONS: : The LA assay can determine the risk of atrophic gastritis, which in turn is a considerable risk factor for gastric cancer. We propose using this assay in combination with the PG I/II ratio to avoid missing gastric cancer patients who have a low LA value (less than 32.0 U/mL).PMID:37720994 | DOI:10.5009/gnl220464
