A single stool antigen test for Helicobacter pylori infection, a common cause of stomach inflammation and indigestion, for people with ongoing upper gut symptoms.
1 biomarker as listed by Selph.
The Helicobacter pylori Test measures H. pylori stool antigen, checking for infection with a bacterium commonly linked to stomach inflammation, indigestion and stomach ulcers. Results are reported as negative, positive or borderline.
Against the seven H. pylori tests we track, its £93 price is close to the £97.13 median. It costs less than Blue Horizon Medicals' H Pylori Antigen Stool Test (£101.25) and Better2Know's two H. pylori tests (£110 and £175), but more than budget rapid tests from MyHealthChecked (£10) and Check My Body Health (£11.99), and more than Bluecrest Wellness' Stomach Cancer (H. Pylori) test (£65).
Clinical Depth reflects that it is a single-marker test doing exactly what it sets out to do. Collection Convenience is more moderate than Selph's finger-prick blood tests, since it is a stool-only test with a 3 to 4 day turnaround.
This suits you if you have ongoing indigestion, bloating or stomach discomfort and want a lab-based stool antigen result with a doctor's report. If cost is the main factor and you are comfortable with a rapid-format test instead, MyHealthChecked's Stomach Ulcer Rapid Test at £10 or Check My Body Health's kit at £11.99 test for the same infection at a fraction of the price.
You collect a stool sample at home and post it to the lab; there is no blood-based or clinic alternative for this test. A Selph doctor reviews your result and provides a written report, typically within 3 to 4 days.
This H. pylori stool antigen test costs £93, close to the £97.13 median for the seven H. pylori tests we track. It costs more than budget rapid tests such as MyHealthChecked's £10 Stomach Ulcer Rapid Test, but less than lab-based stool antigen tests from Blue Horizon Medicals (£101.25) and Better2Know (£110 and £175). The main caveat is that cheaper rapid-format alternatives exist if budget matters more than a full lab-based antigen test.
