haemoglobin concentration (f-Hb) can be safely implemented in primary care as a rule-out test for significant bowel disease (SBD) (colorectal cancer (CRC), higher risk adenoma (HRA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)) when used as an adjunct to the clinical assessment of new bowel ...
The UK has established bowel screening programmes with colonoscopy being offered following a positive faecal occult blood test using a guaiac test or qualitative faecal immunochemical test (FIT).
