What if QFIT Results Are High?
A high QFIT result indicates that a higher concentration of human haemoglobin has been detected in the stool sample, meaning there is evidence of blood loss somewhere within the gastrointestinal tract.
This pattern can be associated with a range of bowel conditions, including benign causes such as haemorrhoids, inflammation, or polyps, as well as more serious causes such as bowel cancer. The test does not identify the source or cause of bleeding on its own, but helps indicate when further assessment of the bowel is commonly considered.
Because QFIT provides a quantitative measure of blood in stool, higher values are generally treated as clinically significant and are often reviewed in the context of symptoms, medical history, and other relevant findings to help clarify the underlying cause.
Why Take The QFIT Test?
Identify potential signs of bowel conditions such as polyps, inflammation, or bowel cancer at an early stage.
