Broncho Provocation test Price in Bangladesh

What is Broncho Provocation test?

A Bronchoprovocation Test is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate airway hyperresponsiveness, which is commonly seen in conditions like asthma. The test involves exposing the patient to a substance (such as methacholine, histamine, or cold air) that can cause narrowing of the airways.

The patient inhales the substance, and their lung function is measured using spirometry before and after the exposure to monitor for any changes in airflow. If the patient experiences a significant reduction in lung function, it suggests increased airway sensitivity.

The test helps diagnose asthma or assess its severity. It is generally safe, though mild coughing or shortness of breath may occur.

What to expect & how to prepare

Broncho Provocation test is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Broncho Provocation test result rather than self-diagnosing.
