OCCULT BLOOD IN FAECES
FOB (Fecal Occult Blood) refers to hidden blood in the stool, which can be caused by various gastrointestinal conditions, including polyps, ulcers, colitis, diverticula, fissures, hemorrhoids, or tumors.
These conditions often have no noticeable symptoms in the early stages. Therefore, testing for occult blood in stool is an important screening tool to detect gastrointestinal issues early and enable timely treatment.
WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?
BOWEL-FOB TEST is useful for identifying the presence of blood in the stool, in some cases not identifiable with the naked eye, especially over 45 years of age.
In some cases, the presence of occult blood in the stool is not clearly visible to the naked eye, so it is useful to use devices capable of doing so, without food restrictions before its use.
