Provides insight into

A blood test for heartburn and stomach pain can provide insight into the presence of Helicobacter Pylori, a bacterium that can cause stomach inflammation and ulcers. It helps determine whether an infection is the cause of the symptoms.

Determinations:
  • Helicobacter

These markers indicate whether there is an active or past infection with Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can cause stomach complaints.

It is possible that a test may lead to incidental findings. Prior to the examination, Prescan will ask whether you wish to be informed about incidental findings for which monitoring or treatment may be possible, as well as incidental findings related to conditions in your offspring. Prescan is not permitted to inform you about incidental findings for which no monitoring or treatment is available (see NEN 8051 standard for more information).

Technical description

Laboratory protocol

The laboratory test at Prescan is carried out according to a standardized protocol. The blood draw is performed intravenously, meaning that the blood is taken from a vein, usually in the arm. The collected blood is stored in a tube containing an anticoagulant (such as EDTA).

This process is performed by experienced medical assistants, ensuring that the blood collection is safe, hygienic, and as comfortable as possible.

The urine analysis is based on a urine sample provided by the client, in which several important parameters are measured. The tests performed during the laboratory examination are:
