Bowel FOB (Fecal Occult Blood)

29.99 lev.

Bowel FOB tests are a crucial screening tool designed to detect the presence of occult (hidden) blood in the stool, potentially indicative of gastrointestinal bleeding or colorectal conditions.

Early detection of gastrointestinal bleeding is essential for several reasons. Firstly, colorectal cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, and occult blood in the stool can be an early sign. Regular screening, especially for individuals over the age of 50 or those with a family history of colorectal cancer, is crucial for timely diagnosis and intervention.

Secondly, gastrointestinal bleeding can arise from various other conditions, such as hemorrhoids, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), ulcers, or polyps. Identifying occult blood early on enables individuals to address these underlying issues promptly, preventing complications and improving overall health outcomes.

Positive results can also be obtained in the presence of hemoglobin concentrations between 40 ng/mL and 36 ng/mL.
