Order Occult Blood Fecal TestThe Occult Blood Fecal Screen is a laboratory test that examines a stool sample for blood that is not visible to the naked eye. Because such bleeding can occur intermittently and without obvious signs, this screen is used to detect hidden blood that may originate anywhere along the digestive tract.
About Occult Blood Fecal Test in Clovis
The Occult Blood Fecal Screen, also referred to as a FIT or iFOBT, is designed to identify trace amounts of blood in fecal matter.
Occult blood refers to blood present in the stool in quantities too small to be seen or to change its appearance. The test uses antibodies that react specifically to human hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. When hemoglobin from the lower digestive tract is present in a sample, the reaction produces a detectable signal.
Because the test targets human hemoglobin, it is generally not affected by dietary sources of blood from red meat or by certain plant compounds that can interfere with older chemical-based stool tests. This specificity helps reduce false results related to food intake.
The Occult Blood Fecal Screen is typically used as a screening tool to look for hidden bleeding that may be associated with polyps, inflammation, ulcers, or other conditions of the gastrointestinal tract. It is a non-invasive test that requires only a stool sample collected according to the laboratory's instructions.
