A single blood test for H. pylori antibodies, commonly used to assess whether an infection linked to stomach ulcers and gastritis is present. Suited to anyone with ongoing digestive symptoms.
1 biomarker as listed by Bluecrest Wellness.
H. pylori antibodies indicate whether your body has responded to an infection with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium commonly associated with stomach ulcers and gastritis. This test uses a blood sample rather than the breath or stool methods some other providers use.
At £65 this sits below the £97.13 median across the H. pylori tests in our comparison group, and is considerably cheaper than venous options from Selph (£93), Blue Horizon Medicals (£101.25), Better2Know (from £110) and Randox Health's breath test (£120). Two rapid self-test kits, from MyHealthChecked (£10) and Check My Body Health (£11.99), are cheaper still, though the sheet does not tell us how their method compares to a lab blood test.
The score benefits from that price position and from a listing that clearly states the biomarker, sample type, collection and turnaround, alongside a lab that is UKAS ISO 15189 accredited and CQC registered. It loses marks on collection convenience, since it needs an in-person venous draw with results in around 8 days, and on results and follow-up, because there is no doctor review as standard.
This suits anyone with ongoing digestive symptoms, such as indigestion or heartburn, or a history of stomach ulcers, who wants a lab blood test for H. pylori without booking a full venous panel. If budget is the priority, Check My Body Health's kit at £11.99 or MyHealthChecked's at £10 are considerably cheaper, though we cannot confirm from the sheet whether they use the same testing method. If you want a venous blood test specifically, Bluecrest is cheaper than the equivalent options from Selph, Blue Horizon Medicals, Better2Know and Randox Health in our comparison. Persistent digestive symptoms should also be discussed with a GP.
You attend a Bluecrest venue for a venous blood draw; there is no at-home kit for this test. The sample is sent to Bluecrest's own UKAS ISO 15189 accredited laboratory, which checks for H. pylori antibodies, with results typically back within 3 to 8 days. Results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
A single H. pylori antibody blood test taken via a venous draw at a Bluecrest venue, priced at £65. That is below the £97.13 median for H. pylori tests in our comparison group, though two rapid self-test kits from other providers cost under £12, and results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
The listing publishes a detailed description, the full biomarker list, a stated turnaround, clear collection options, the sample type; it does not state what the report looks like.
