    What is Stool Occult Blood Test?

    The Stool Occult Blood test is an important diagnostic tool used to detect hidden (occult) blood in the stool. This test is useful for finding causes of digestive tract bleeding, such as polyps, haemorrhoids, diverticulosis, ulcers, or colitis. It is also used in screening for colorectal cancer, especially in developed countries where colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in both men and women. Early detection is crucial for improving health outcomes. Proper implementation of Stool Occult Blood screening has been linked to lower disease and death rates associated with colorectal cancer. If you're in Delhi and your doctor has prescribed a Stool Occult Blood test, be sure to get it done as soon as possible. Early testing can help identify potential health risks and ensure prompt and effective treatment.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Parameters

    The Stool Occult Blood test detects a single parameter: the presence of blood in the stool sample. Finding blood in the stool suggests internal bleeding in the digestive tract, which is not normal and often points to an underlying health condition. Possible causes of this bleeding include: ● Polyps: Abnormal growths on the colon or rectum lining. ● Haemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the rectum or anus. ● Diverticulosis: Small pouches that form in the colon’s inner wall. ● Ulcers: Open wounds in the digestive tract lining. ● Colitis: Inflammation of the colon, often linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). ● Colorectal cancer: Cancer occurring in the colon or rectum. Additionally, blood in the stool may indicate conditions like anaemia, a disorder where the body lacks sufficient healthy red blood cells.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Preparation

    Here are important points to consider before scheduling a Stool Occult Blood test at home:

    • Prerequisites

    There is no need to fast before taking the Stool Occult Blood test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    You can arrange the Stool Occult Blood test at any time throughout the day.

    • Who Should Get a Stool Occult Blood Test

    The Stool Occult Blood test is mainly used to screen for colorectal cancer before any symptoms show. It can also detect bleeding in the digestive tract from different conditions and help identify causes of anaemia. This test can also distinguish between conditions like IBS, which doesn’t cause bleeding, and IBD, which often does. However, the Stool Occult Blood test alone isn’t enough for a diagnosis. If blood is found, more tests will be needed to identify the exact cause.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Stool Occult Blood Test

    No special preparation is required, but let your doctor know about any medications you're currently taking, as they could influence your test results.

    Why Take the Stool Occult Blood Test?

    There are several reasons to consider taking a Stool Occult Blood test:

    Symptom Evaluation : If you have symptoms that may indicate bleeding in the digestive system, your doctor might request a Stool Occult Blood test. Symptoms include: o Fatigue o Abdominal discomfort o Pain near the rectum o Visible rectal bleeding

    Colorectal Cancer Screening : This test is also useful for screening individuals at risk of colorectal cancer, even if they have no symptoms. Major health organisations recommend routine screenings for colorectal cancer, starting between ages 45 and 50 for those at average risk, and continuing until age 75. Your doctor will assess your risk factors to decide the best time to begin screenings.

    Although this test is an important tool for screening, it cannot provide a definitive diagnosis of colorectal cancer or digestive issues on its own. Further testing may be necessary based on your results.

    Stool Occult Blood Test Results and Interpretation

    Here's how to interpret the results of your Stool Occult Blood test:

    ResultInterpretation

    ● Occult blood refers to small amounts of blood in stool that aren't visible to the naked eye but can still indicate an underlying issue. ● This test is useful for identifying bleeding caused by gastrointestinal problems such as colitis, polyps, diverticulitis, colorectal cancer, and hookworm infections.

    • Very good Experience

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
