Blood thinners and stool test for hidden blood
Part of Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how often a simple stool test (FIT) shows hidden blood in people who take blood thinners. It helps doctors understand if the test is still useful for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects information from patients who come to the emergency room with gastrointestinal bleeding while taking certain newer blood thinners. It aims to better understand and manage this type of bleeding.
This study tests whether a stool sample can help detect early signs of cancers in the stomach, colon, and related organs. Researchers will compare stool test results with findings from standard camera procedures to see if this non-invasive approach might catch cancer earlier.
This study checks how well a set of bacterial gene markers (a DNA-like test) can help identify advanced “precancer-like” or higher-risk growths in the colon. It may help doctors better target who needs closer follow-up during colonoscopy.
This Swiss study looks at people with unexplained bleeding by using a standardized bleeding score and taking a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand possible bleeding causes even when the reason isn’t clear yet.
This study checks stool samples to see how well stool tests can detect early colon cancer and precancerous growths called adenomas. If you qualify, you’ll collect stool samples for a lab test (FIT) and sometimes this helps sort who should get follow-up testing.
This study tests a fecal immunochemical test (FIT) to find colorectal cancer or precancerous growths. It aims to see if a simple stool sample can help detect problems early.
