Occult Blood – Stool (FOBT/FIT) (BC0108)

Description

Occult Blood – Stool (FOBT/FIT) is a screening test used to detect hidden (occult) blood in stool that is not visible to the naked eye. It is commonly used for early detection of gastrointestinal bleeding and colorectal cancer screening. FOBT detects blood using chemical methods, while FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test) specifically detects human hemoglobin, offering higher specificity for lower gastrointestinal bleeding.
