H. Pylori Price in Bangladesh

What is H. Pylori?

The H. pylori IgG test detects antibodies to Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to peptic ulcers and gastritis.

This blood test indicates past or current exposure to the bacterium. It requires a small blood sample, typically drawn from a vein in the arm.

No fasting or special preparation is necessary. While a positive result suggests exposure to H. pylori, it does not differentiate between active or past infections.

Additional tests, like a urea breath test or stool antigen test, may be needed for confirmation. The procedure is low-risk, with slight bruising at the blood draw site as the most common side effect.

What to expect & how to prepare

H. Pylori 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 H. Pylori result rather than self-diagnosing.
