occult blood tests," British Journal of Surgery, vol.
When governments base recommendations to use fecal
occult blood tests in lieu of colonoscopy, and compare it to 10-year colonoscopy intervals, they are missing a potential benefit of more frequent colonoscopy screening.
Fecal immunochemical tests compared with guaiac fecal
occult blood tests for population-based colorectal cancer screening.
The risk of CKD was 6.53 times, 2.62 times, 1.95 times, 1.76 times, and 1.03 times greater with positive urine
occult blood results, high bilirubin, hyperuricemia, high total cholesterol, and each additional 1-year of age, respectively.

occult blood tests may be the best option," BMC Gastroenterology, vol.
The most commonly used guaiac-based fecal
occult blood tests (gFOBTs), such as Hemoccult II, have relatively low test sensitivity, meaning that a single application of the test has somewhat less than a 50% chance of detecting cancer.
Stein predicts, colonoscopy will take a back seat to an improved DNA fecal
occult blood test, or to a virtual colonoscopy, in which your colon is examined via a CT or MRI.
The staff in St Anthony would have received a flag about the man who responded badly to haloperidol and my colleague would have received a reminder about the positive faecal
occult blood test.
Fecal

Fecal
occult blood tests (blood in the stool) only pick up 10 to 20 percent of colon cancers in men and women.
