Quick answer
The Occult Blood Fecal Test is a stool-based screen that looks for hidden blood, meaning blood that cannot be seen with the naked eye. It is also known as a fecal immunochemical test or iFOBT. This type of screening can help detect bleeding from the lower digestive tract that might otherwise go unnoticed, and results are reviewed by a healthcare provider.
What this test measures
Hidden blood in stool can come from several sources, including polyps, inflammation, or other conditions in the digestive tract. Because it is not visible, a laboratory test is needed to detect it. The fecal immunochemical test specifically detects human hemoglobin, which makes it more targeted than older chemical stool tests.
The sample is stool, collected by the person at home using the kit and instructions provided, then returned to the laboratory. No dietary restrictions are typically required for this type of test, unlike some older stool blood tests. The laboratory reports whether hemoglobin was detected and, in many cases, provides a quantitative value.
This test is often used as a screening option to check for sources of bleeding in the colon and rectum. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis, and a positive result does not mean cancer is present. A healthcare provider decides whether follow-up with a colonoscopy or other evaluation is appropriate based on the result and the person's history.
