# Occult Blood, Fecal, Immunoassay (ColoFIT™)

> This test detects tiny amounts of human blood in your stool that are not visible to the naked eye. It is primarily used to screen for bleeding in the lower digestive tract, which can be an early sign of conditions like colon polyps or colorectal cancer. While this test helps identify if abnormal bleeding is present, it cannot diagnose a specific disease or pinpoint the exact source of the blood. A positive result typically requires follow-up procedures, such as a colonoscopy, to determine the cause.
