It can be used as a first-line test to determine stomach health. It helps in the differential diagnosis of upper gastrointestinal diseases like H. pylori- and non-H. pylori-related gastritis, Dyspepsia, Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), a precancerous condition.
