GastroPanel® quick test NT

What makes this examination truly special

This is one of the most advanced non-invasive diagnostic methods on the market, giving a fast and reliable picture of the condition of the stomach lining. It has many advantages over conventional, unpleasant examinations:

  • Painless and fast: all it takes is a sample of a few drops of blood from a fingertip.
  • Comprehensive screening: it examines 4 key biomarkers at once — pepsinogen I and II, gastrin-17 and Helicobacter pylori antibodies.
  • Immediate result: no need to wait weeks for lab results; the test can be evaluated quickly.
  • Safe and comfortable: an ideal first step in finding the cause of stomach complaints — bloating, heartburn, pain — before an unpleasant gastroscopy.
Eight situations when it is justified

When is the GastroPanel® test recommended?

Four key biomarkers from a single blood sample: the condition of the stomach lining, acid production and Helicobacter infection can all be examined at the same time.

  • Chronic stomach complaints

    If you suffer from recurring upper abdominal pain, early fullness, stubborn bloating or constant heartburn.

  • Suspected Helicobacter infection

    If the presence of Helicobacter pylori, the bacterium that causes chronic gastritis, is suspected.

  • Underlying causes of malabsorption

    If you have iron deficiency, anaemia or vitamin B12 deficiency of unknown origin.

  • Long-term use of acid-reducing medication

    If you are on long-term proton pump inhibitor treatment and would like to check its effect.

  • Assessing stomach cancer risk

    If there is a family history of stomach cancer and you would like to assess the risk factors early.

  • Screening for atrophic gastritis

    If there is a chance of atrophy of the stomach lining, which can lead to serious complications.

  • Acid production disorders

    If you want to find out whether your complaints are caused by too much or too little stomach acid.

  • First-line screening

    If you want a comprehensive picture of your stomach health before any invasive procedure.

A clinically proven method, tested in thousands of cases and based on international guidelines — from a single blood sample.

This list is for information only and does not replace a specialist examination. GastroPanel® gives a picture of the condition of the stomach lining but does not replace endoscopy: if the result is abnormal, our specialist may recommend an endoscopic investigation. If you have any questions, call us: 06-1-413-2500 (H–P 9–17).

Three reasons that make the decision easier

Why choose the GastroPanel® lab test?

  • Completely free of pain and endoscopy

    You do not need to undergo an endoscopic procedure for us to get an accurate picture of your stomach. The test is based on a simple, quick blood sample, so it is completely stress-free.

  • Extremely fast, automated results

    Compared with conventional laboratory turnaround times, the fixed titration time of the BioHit GastroPanel® Quick Test NT system is just 30–45 minutes, and the dedicated reader immediately provides a printed written interpretation.

  • Internationally recognised, comprehensive panel

    The test measures four key stomach biomarkers at once (PGI, PGII, G-17, Hp IgG). The method can be integrated into the professional guidelines of the international Maastricht VI consensus and the British Society of Gastroenterology.

From blood sampling to specialist evaluation

The examination in 4 steps

Four steps — from preparation to the gastroenterologist's report.

  • Disinfecting the skin before sampling
    01

    Flexible preparation

    Thanks to modern technology, you do not need to arrive on an empty stomach; the device still evaluates accurately. You only need to make sure you stop the specified acid-reducing and antibiotic medicines as instructed.

  • Fingertip blood sample for the GastroPanel test
    02

    Quick and gentle blood sampling

    Our assistants perform the test in designated time slots (Tuesdays and Thursdays between 13:00 and 15:00). Sampling is quick and gentle and takes place in a friendly clinic setting.

  • Inserting the test cassette into the BIOHIT reader device

    Fixed-time digital analysis

    The blood sample is placed straight into the BIOHIT rapid test system. In 30–45 minutes, the device analyses the structural and functional profile of the stomach lining based on objective quantitative data.

  • The GastroPanel result printed out by the device

    Expert evaluation and patient pathway

    The detailed report produced by the device is evaluated by our gastroenterology specialists. Based on the results, we determine the exact treatment recommendation or, if necessary, targeted medical treatment.

What you should know about the GastroPanel® test

Did you know?

Four questions and answers about comprehensive stomach screening.

  • Did you know that GastroPanel® also screens for precancerous conditions?

    While Helicobacter tests — such as the breath test — do not detect structural damage to the stomach, this panel also indicates atrophic gastritis, which is one of the main risk factors for stomach cancer.

  • Did you know that atrophy of the stomach lining can cause vitamin deficiency?

    If pepsinogen I levels are persistently low, the stomach cannot produce enough of what is known as intrinsic factor, which can lead to severe vitamin B12 deficiency and iron-deficiency anaemia.

  • Did you know that the comprehensive panel costs less than testing the parameters separately?

    As a single test, the state-of-the-art panel measuring four biomarkers is considerably more cost-effective than having the parameters tested separately. You can find the current price in the booking section.

  • Did you know that the examination fee can also be paid from your health fund account?

    Endomedix has official contracts with almost all Hungarian health funds, so you can conveniently pay for the test from your health fund account.

What to bear in mind before the test

Important information and preparing for the test

For an accurate result, proton pump inhibitors (PPI acid reducers) must be stopped completely 10–14 days before the test, as they can falsely mimic atrophy of the stomach lining. H2 receptor antagonists (such as famotidine) must be stopped 48 hours before the test, and antibiotics and bismuth-containing preparations 4 weeks before, as they distort the Helicobacter result.

You do not need to arrive on an empty stomach, but smoking is strictly forbidden on the morning of the test, as it artificially raises gastrin-17 levels. You can take your regular morning medicines after the blood sample has been taken. Always agree any stopping of medication with your doctor.
