Emettere le feci in un “vaso da notte”. E’ importante raccogliere il materiale da esaminare da 3-4 punti diversi. Consegnare il campione al laboratorio appena possibile o conservare lo stesso in frigo o in luogo asciutto. Per la ricerca parassitologica e del sangue occulto è consigliato raccogliere 3 diversi campioni da analizzare da 3 defecazioni consecutive.

FOBT Test FAQs

FOBT checks the stool sample for occult bleeding (bleeding from gastrointestinal parts that end up in the stool). Bleeding can be caused by haemorrhoids, anal fissures, polyps, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, and colorectal cancer.

It is intensely used for diagnosing colorectal cancer before the appearance of symptoms. It is also used to help find the cause of anaemia. It can distinguish between irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which usually doesn't cause bleeding, and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which is likely to cause bleeding.

Avoid Vit C supplements, red meat (beef, lamb, pork), NSAIDs (Aspirin, Ibuprofen) drugs, and spicy food the day before the test, as these can alter results.
