Tests we commonly arrange
- H. pylori testing — breath test, stool antigen or biopsy-based tests
- Liver function and viral markers — including hepatitis B and C panels
- Stool tests — infection, calprotectin (gut inflammation) and occult blood
- Oesophageal manometry — measures how the food pipe squeezes; key for achalasia and swallowing problems
- Anorectal manometry and biofeedback — for chronic constipation and difficulty passing stool
- Liver biopsy — when blood tests and FibroScan are not enough
Dr. Kalia will explain why each test is needed and what the result will change, so you avoid unnecessary investigations.

Frequently asked questions
Some routine blood tests can be done directly, but specialised tests such as manometry are arranged after a consultation so that they answer the right question.
