A member asked:

Could h. pylori cause my antinuclear antibodies to be elevated?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: H. Pylori is connected with damage to the stomach and duodenal mucus layer and ulcers as a result. Anti-nuclear antibodies are antibodies that your body erroneously produces against a part of your own body cells. This is caused autoimmune disease.
