Sangue occulto nelle feci Nelle feci il sangue dovrebbe essere assente. Se, invece, risulta presente anche in minima quantità, la causa può essere una lesione a livello intestinale od esofagea che è consigliabile approfondire con indagini più specifiche radiologiche e/o endoscopiche.

FOBT Test FAQs

FOBT checks the stool sample for occult bleeding (bleeding from gastrointestinal parts that end up in the stool). Bleeding can be caused by haemorrhoids, anal fissures, polyps, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, and colorectal cancer.

It is recommended to undergo FOBT if suspected of bleeding. The screening tests can start at age 45 or 50 if a person has an average risk of developing colorectal cancer.

Avoid Vit C supplements, red meat (beef, lamb, pork), NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen) drugs, and spicy food the day before the test, as these can alter results.
