About the Test
This test checks a stool sample for hidden (occult) blood that is not visible to the eye. Small amounts of blood in the stool can come from the digestive tract and may be an early sign of conditions ranging from haemorrhoids and ulcers to polyps or bowel cancer. It is widely used as a simple, non-invasive screen, particularly for colorectal cancer, and to investigate unexplained anaemia or bowel symptoms.
What is it? A stool test detecting hidden blood, known as a faecal occult blood test (FOBT) or faecal immunochemical test (FIT).
