What is Occult Blood - Stool?

Occult Blood - Stool is a laboratory test that evaluates one or more biological markers in the blood or urine. Results provide your doctor with objective, measurable data to support diagnosis, guide treatment, or monitor a health condition over time.

What does Occult Blood - Stool measure?

This test looks for tiny amounts of blood in your stool that cannot be seen with the eye. Finding hidden blood can be an early sign of problems in the digestive tract. It is used to screen for colorectal cancer and precancerous polyps. The specific marker measured depends on the test your doctor has ordered. A blood sample is typically drawn from a vein in the arm and processed through NABL-accredited laboratory equipment. Results are compared against established reference ranges for your age and gender.

What do the results of Occult Blood - Stool mean?

Your doctor will interpret the result in the context of your overall health picture.
