The H. Pylori Finger Prick Test is a small blood test that checks for signs of Helicobacter pylori, a germ that can irritate the stomach. Many centers call it an H. pylori fingerstick antibody test or a rapid H. pylori test. You can book this test at participating labs through LabFinder and choose a time that fits your day.
A rapid H. pylori antibody test or fingerstick IgG test looks for antibodies, which are proteins your body makes after meeting this germ. In plain words, it helps your doctor see if you have had exposure to H. pylori. It does not by itself prove an active infection, so your doctor may pair it with other tests.
Common reasons: ongoing upper belly pain or burning, frequent heartburn, nausea or bloating, a history of stomach or duodenal ulcers, or follow up when your doctor wants a quick screening before ordering other tests. It can also be used when a simple fingerstick is easier than a standard blood draw.
Plan about 10 to 20 minutes at the site. You will check in, the staff will clean a fingertip, and a tiny lancet makes a quick finger stick. A few drops of blood go onto a test card or small device. A bandage is placed. You can usually leave right away while the lab processes the sample.
No fasting for most people: Eating is usually fine unless your doctor says otherwise. Share medicines: Tell the team about antibiotics, bismuth, or acid reducers you are taking, since your doctor may plan other H. pylori tests that those can affect. Stay hydrated and warm: Warm, clean hands help blood flow for a fingerstick. Bring records: Prior H. pylori tests or ulcer history help your doctor compare results.
Stomach irritation called gastritis, stomach or duodenal ulcers, long lasting upper belly pain or burning, unexplained nausea or bloating, and anemia that may relate to stomach issues. Results must be read in context. Your doctor will review your test along with your history and symptoms before recommending next steps.
