Disease relevance of Occult Blood

  • Reducing mortality from colorectal cancer by screening for fecal occult blood. Minnesota Colon Cancer Control Study [1].
  • The stool DAF test was positive in a substantial portion of patients with colorectal cancer whose tumors were small ( < 2 cm), at an early TNM stage, or unassociated with fecal occult blood positivity [2].
  • After 7 weeks of daily intraperitoneal melatonin administration (150 micrograms/kg), rectal bleeding and occult blood was eliminated in all mice in which colitis was induced by DSS [3].
  • Recurrent episodes of severe abdominal pain and a positive fecal occult blood test in an 18-yr-old boy with mild mental retardation and slight dysmorphic features of the face, head, and skeletal system led to the diagnosis of FAP [4].
  • A study was undertaken to assess the impact of computer-generated reminders to adult patients, their physicians, or both patients and physicians on adherence to five recommended preventive services: cholesterol measurements, fecal occult blood testing, mammography, Papanicolaou smears, and tetanus immunization [5].
 

High impact information on Occult Blood

 

Chemical compound and disease context of Occult Blood

  • Indications for systemic toxicity were noticed in the high-dose group and included occult blood in urine, elevated protein/creatinine ratio concomitantly with an increased urine volume and increased relative kidney weight indicating a slight disturbance of the kidney function [11].
  • Mass screening for asymptomatic subjects and follow-up for high risk population are mainly used to find the early stage colorectal cancer in China. Fecal occult blood test is also widely made as primary screening test, galactose oxygenase test of rectal mucus (T antigen), fecal occult albumin test are also used [12].

Associations of Occult Blood with chemical compounds

  • The study focused on whether a Pap smear was performed and whether a breast examination, mammogram, rectal examination or stool occult blood test, or serum cholesterol testing was performed [21].
  • OBJECTIVE: To determine whether low-dose aspirin or warfarin induces fecal occult blood loss [22].
  • Fecal occult blood loss is increased in most regular aspirin users but not in those taking acetaminophen [23].
  • Even more alarming, 86% of the A lesions, 50% of the B1 lesions, 31% of the B2 lesions, and 14% of the C2 lesions were occult blood negative [24].
  • Rapid immunochemical detection of fecal occult blood by use of a latex-agglutination test [25].
