The Stool Occult Blood test is used to detect small amounts of blood in the stool that are not visible to the naked eye. This hidden blood may be an early sign of gastrointestinal conditions.

The presence of occult blood can indicate disorders such as colorectal cancer, polyps, ulcers, hemorrhoids, or inflammatory bowel disease. This test is commonly used as a screening tool, especially for early detection of colorectal cancer.

Depending on the method used (chemical or immunological), dietary restrictions may be required before sample collection for accurate results.
