Gastrin Test: Your Key to Understanding Stomach Health
Are you struggling with persistent stomach pain, acid reflux, or digestive discomfort that just won’t go away? You’re not alone. Many South Africans suffer from stomach-related issues without understanding the underlying cause. The Gastrin Test at Oracle Genomics provides the clarity you need to take control of your digestive health.
For just ZAR 500, this essential test can detect serious conditions early, giving you peace of mind and guiding effective treatment. Our compassionate approach ensures you feel supported every step of the way.
What Does the Gastrin Test Detect?
Gastrin is a crucial hormone produced in your stomach that regulates acid production. When gastrin levels become imbalanced, it can indicate serious health conditions that require attention. Our advanced Chemiluminescent Immunoassay method provides precise measurements to help identify:
- Zollinger-Ellison syndrome (rare tumours causing excessive acid)
- Chronic gastritis and stomach inflammation
- Pernicious anaemia-related stomach issues
- Stomach ulcers and their underlying causes
- Conditions affecting stomach acid regulation
Understanding your gastrin levels is the first step toward effective treatment and lasting relief from stomach discomfort.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the Gastrin Test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent stomach pain or burning sensations
- Frequent acid reflux or heartburn
- Unexplained nausea or vomiting
- Difficulty digesting certain foods
- Unexplained weight loss
- Family history of stomach conditions
- Previous stomach ulcer diagnosis
- Ongoing digestive discomfort despite treatment
Early detection through gastrin testing can prevent complications and guide your healthcare provider in developing the right treatment plan for you.
