Overview
Within your body, blood plays a crucial role in various functions. Sometimes, blood in stool is not visible to the naked eye, and this test helps detect tiny amounts of blood in stool samples. Detecting occult blood aids in enabling timely intervention and treatment. Detecting occult blood is essential because it can indicate various conditions affecting your gastrointestinal tract, such as ulcers, polyps, colitis, or even colorectal cancer.
