Fecal Occult Blood Tests

Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) come in guaiac (gFOBT) and immunochemical (FIT) formats. FOBTs are used as a patient take-home for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening and in-office/bedside for the detection of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. gFOBT are typically test cards that turn blue to indicate blood. Patients refrain from specific foods/medications which could result in false-negatives. FIT products utilize an antibody reaction specific to human blood and lower GI bleeding, thus eliminating restrictions. FIT tests (by manufacturer) differ by sampling packages, recommended CRC screening days, clinical sensitivity, and analytical cut-offs. Clinicians should consider these technical aspects when determining the proper product for their specific applications.
