My worse nightmare of needing an urgent care visit on a Saturday at 6pm. Surprisingly I found Carbon Health Urgent Care with several appointments available. The checkin as a first visit was so easy and I was seen IMMEDIATELY. The physician was attentive, thorough and so friendly. The checkout was amazing, she helped me find a 24 hour pharmacy to get my prescription

From the moment we stepped in to the moment we walked out, it was a pleasant visit. The girl who took my daughter’s vitals was very nice, very attentive, and the Dr was a sweetheart!!!! Totally recommend!!! The man at the front desk was so nice to pause a movie to give my daughter the title so we could continue it at home. The girl at the front desk nicely explained how the ticket validation went in order for them to be successful. Zero complaints!!!

California H Pylori Tests

An H. pylori test can be used to determine whether you have a bacterial infection caused by H. pylori. If you have signs of a digestive disease, your doctor may request this test so that you can be treated as soon as possible to avoid major complications. This test can also tell you if your current H. pylori infection therapy is working properly.
A breath test, blood test, stool test, and biopsy are among the H. pylori testing available.

Your doctor will have you ingest a specific chemical that your body converts to carbon dioxide during the breath test. After that, you'll exhale into a gadget that can detect the presence of H. pylori. Your doctor may prescribe a

During the blood test, your doctor will take a small sample of blood from your arm with a tiny needle. After that, your blood will be checked for H. pylori antibodies to see if you've had an infection.

Your doctor will ask you to produce a sample of feces for the stool test, which can reveal if you have an H. pylori infection or whether it has been effectively treated.

Your doctor will take a small sample of tissue from the lining of your stomach during the biopsy test. Because this test is more invasive than other H. pylori testing, it is normally done in a hospital or clinic. Your doctor will provide anesthesia to you and place you on an operating table.

    Each H. pylori test has its unique set of preparation instructions. There is no need to prepare for the blood test. If you're having a breath, stool, or biopsy test, your doctor will inquire about any medications you're taking and may advise you to avoid taking specific prescriptions for up to two weeks before the test if they're known to cause problems.

Based on the most recent scientific findings and evidence, your doctor can advise you on which testing procedure is the most accurate.
