POLY-CHECK

Faecal blood can indicate different gastrointestinal disorders. These disorders can be as different as ulcers, polyps, colitis, fissures and colorectal cancer. These diseases cannot be detected only by visual examination and symptoms are often silent. Only the detection of blood in faeces can indicate a gastrointestinal disorder. Faecal occult blood in stool should be screened at least yearly starting with the age of 45 years Poly-Test is a highly specific immunological rapid test. POLY-CHECK does not require a diet period as current guaiac tests. It is known that polyps are, in most of the cases for early stage of diseases, not bleeding all the time but only intermittently. Stool sampling must therefore be collected for three consecutive days to increase the probability to detect intermittent bleedings for safer patient information.
