FOB Fecal Occult Blood Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of human hemoglobin from blood in feces.
Summary
Many diseases may result in hidden blood in the feces. This is known as fecal occult blood (FOB), human occult blood, or human hemoglobin. In the early stages, gastrointestinal problems such as colon cancer, ulcers, polyps, colitis, diverticulitis, and fissures may not show any visible symptoms, only occult blood. Traditional guaiac based methods of occult blood testing lack sensitivity and specificity, and also require diet restrictions prior to testing. Fecal occult blood tests are used as a screening tool for detecting lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding that may be related to iron deficiency anemia, peptic ulcer, ulcerative colitis, polyps, and colorectal cancer. The FOB test device is recommended for use by health professionals in routine physicalexaminations and in monitoring for GI bleeding in patients in hospitals or in physicians offices.The Fecal Occult Blood Test is a simple, visual qualitative test that detects human hemoglobin from blood in feces. The test is based on immunochromatography and can give a result within 5 minutes.
