بلاش تحليل الدم الخفى فى الستول ( وحياتى عندك لو كان لى عندك خاطر 😂)
هذا التحليل لايُبنى عليه قرار لوحده
ويعمل هلع عند الامهات 🚨🚨🚨
✅ Tip: Occult Blood Test in Pediatrics – Don’t Overuse, Use Wisely
✅ Key Message:
Positive f***l occult blood isn’t always a red flag — interpret in context.
✅ Clinical Pearls:
👉 Use to evaluate suspected GI bleeding, unexplained anemia, or chronic diarrhea with red flags.
👉 False positives from red meat, peroxidase-containing foods (e.g., turnips), or swallowed maternal blood.
👉 False negatives occur with intermittent bleeding or small-volume loss.
👉 Not useful in routine screening of healthy infants with normal stools.
✅ What to Do: ⁉️
👉 Confirm with clinical correlation, history, and labs (CBC, iron studies).
👉 In infants, rule out cow’s milk protein allergy if occult blood is positive with symptoms.
👉 Avoid unnecessary endoscopy based solely on a positive occult blood test.
👉 Don’t confuse occult blood with visible red streaks due to a**l fissure.
“One faint line doesn’t mean alarm — test smart, not scared.”
