About Occult Blood Fecal Test in Lowell
This test, also known as a FIT or iFOBT, detects the presence of occult (hidden) blood in fecal matter.
Occult blood refers to blood in the stool that is present in amounts too small to be seen. Because it is not visible, it can only be identified through laboratory analysis of a stool sample.
The fecal immunochemical test, or FIT, uses antibodies that react specifically to human hemoglobin. This makes it more targeted than older chemical-based stool tests and typically requires no dietary restrictions.
The test is commonly used as a screening tool to detect gastrointestinal bleeding that may originate from polyps, ulcers, inflammation, or other sources. Results are reported as positive or negative for the presence of human blood.
