Occult bleeding test – a marker of gastrointestinal bleeding
A fecal occult blood test is a simple test that determines whether there is any hidden, even minor, bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract.
The test is particularly informative in cases where unexplained anemia or digestive complaints are present.
The test can also be performed for preventive purposes.
A fecal occult blood test is considered positive if blood is found in stool samples.
The test result allows determining the need for additional instrumental studies such as colonoscopy, gastroscopy, and others.
