A breath test checking for Helicobacter pylori, a stomach bacterium linked to digestive discomfort and ulcers, done at a Randox Health clinic rather than at home.
1 biomarker as listed by Randox Health.
The H Pylori Breath Test checks a breath sample for Helicobacter pylori, a stomach bacterium the provider states is estimated to affect over half of people. It is a non-invasive alternative to blood or stool testing for this bacterium, and the provider states that if it is detected, you will be guided on next steps.
As a single-marker test measuring exactly what it sets out to, clinical depth is not really the point of comparison for this group; the score reflects that the test does what it is designed to do rather than any breadth of coverage. On price, £120 sits above the £97.13 median for its comparison group, around 24% higher, and it costs considerably more than home test kits from MyHealthChecked (£10) and Check My Body Health (£11.99), though it remains cheaper than Better2Know's £175 in-clinic version.
Collection convenience scores low because this test requires a clinic visit rather than an at-home kit, even though the breath sample itself is quick and non-invasive; results are provided within 10 working days. The listing scores well for clarity and documentation, setting out the sample type, collection method and turnaround clearly. Results and follow-up scores low because results are not reviewed by a doctor as standard, while trust signals remain high on Randox Health's Trustpilot rating of 4.6 from 29,705 reviews, its UKAS ISO 15189 accredited lab and CQC registration.
This may suit you if you would rather have a breath test done at a clinic than use an at-home finger-prick or stool kit, and want the reassurance of a clinic setting. It is a narrow, single-marker test focused specifically on Helicobacter pylori.
If cost matters most, home test kits from MyHealthChecked (£10) or Check My Body Health (£11.99) test for the same single marker at a fraction of the price. If you specifically want an in-clinic test but at a higher price, Better2Know offers one at £175.
You provide a breath sample at a Randox Health clinic, which is analysed for Helicobacter pylori. Results are provided within 10 working days and are not reviewed by a doctor as standard; the provider states it will guide you on next steps if the bacterium is detected.
Checking a breath sample for Helicobacter pylori, a common stomach bacterium linked to digestive discomfort and ulcers, this clinic-based test costs £120, more than most of the H. pylori tests in its comparison group, several of which are available as low-cost home kits. It does still cost less than the priciest clinic alternative in that group, 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.
