Stool Testing
Infections in the stool - £147
Using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) this comprehensive stool sample assessment will identify 25 common and harmful pathogens. Requires 72 hours for full analysis.
Helicobacter (H)-Pylori Stool Test - £62
Considered the gold standard to look for this bacteria which lives in your stomach. If left untreated it can lead to inflammation of the stomach and cancer. You will need to be free from any PPI (Proton Pump Inhibitor) medication for 2 weeks prior to the test.
Faecal-immunochemical (FIT) testing - £57
This highly accurate test can detect blood in your stool which is not visible and is highly specific for bowel cancer. A negative result can be very reassuring that there is no bowel cancer.
Faecal Calprotectin - £78
An accurate protein marker allowing us to determine whether there is any inflammation within the gut. Used to differentiate inflammatory from none inflammatory bowel disease.
Urine Testing
Urine microscopy - £10
This test will be conducted at the bedside using a urine dipstick. It allows us to see any blood which is not visible to the naked eye. Markers suggestive of infection, starvation, jaundice and excess glucose in the body.
Urine Culture - £48 or £90
We provide two tests. One basic (£48) which will highlight the infection. For those who get occasional infections only. If more resistant infections are suspected, using the accuracy of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) (£90), if any infection is inside the bladder this test will find it. Once found the result will also detail which anti-microbial treatment should be used to treat the infection.
STI Complete - £150
Get the results the next day. For those patients with a strong suspicion of sexually transmitted infection (STI). Includes a urine or swab sample of the lesion plus blood tests.
Swab Testing
Thrush / Fungal Culture - £84
To look for any infective yeasts of fungus growing on the body. The result will also inform us which anti-fungal treatments to use to combat the infection. Requires 72 hours for full analysis.
Microbe Culture and Sensitivity - £70
To identify any infective bacteria that are growing on the body. The result also informs us which anti-biotics will help treat the infection. Requires 72 hours for full analysis.
Cough, Cold and Flu testing - £80
Using the accuracy Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) we can offer testing of 22 common organisms (See FAQ) which can cause infection of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin and lungs.
Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) DNA screen - £80
Cervical screening for high risk strains of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) which can lead to cervical cancer. These include HPV 16,18,45,31,33,35,39,51,52,56,58,59,66,88. If HPV is detected, cervical cytology is included.
