What is Helicobacter Pylori?
Helicobacter Pylori, often abbreviated as H. Pylori, is a type of bacterium that lives in the stomach and can lead to various gastrointestinal problems, including stomach ulcers and, in some cases, stomach cancer.
Why should you get tested for Helicobacter Pylori?
Testing for H. Pylori is useful when you suffer from persistent stomach complaints such as pain, nausea, bloating, or if there is a history of stomach ulcers. Early detection can help prevent more serious conditions.
What does it indicate?
The presence of H. Pylori in the blood indicates an infection with this bacterium, which can lead to inflammation of the stomach lining and the development of ulcers.
What does a high H. Pylori level mean?
A high level of H. Pylori antibodies in the blood points to an active or recent infection with the bacterium. This can cause symptoms and often requires treatment to prevent complications.
What does a low H. Pylori level mean?
A low level may indicate an absence of infection or successful treatment of a previous infection. It can also mean that the bacterium is not present in sufficient quantity to cause symptoms or disease.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what people usually want to know.
How does it work from order to result?
After ordering we generate a referral letter and email you the instructions. You pick a collection point yourself and book an appointment there. Blood is drawn at the location, processed at the lab, and your result arrives digitally.
How quickly can I get tested?
Usually very quickly. Collection points typically have slots within a few days, sometimes even same-day. It depends on how busy the location is. For a few specialist analyses we first ship collection materials, which takes a bit longer.
Do I need to book an appointment?
At most collection points yes. Some accept walk-ins. This is clearly indicated per location. You choose the location that works best for you.
