| Description | The Fecal Occult Blood test is a qualitative test that detects human hemoglobin in human fecal specimens. The test is a visual one step, in-vitro assay. It is intended for professional use to help diagnose gastrointestinal bleeding. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in the world. “Fecal occult blood” is generally defined as a blood loss of less than 50 mL/d. The appearance of occult blood in human fecal specimen is often associated with gastrointestinal diseases which might cause colorectal cancer if not treated promptly and properly. The traditional guaiac-based method lacks sensitivity and specificity, and has diet restrictions prior to the testing. The Fecal Occult Blood Test uses the technology of immunochromatographic sandwich assay. The test is more sensitive and more specific than the traditional guaiac assay. It is easier to interpret the result. In addition, unlike the guaiac assays, the accuracy of the test is not affected by the diet of the patients. |
