No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Blood thinner medications used for cardiovascular disease can cause gastrointestinal bleeding. Early detection of invisible bleeding by performing occult fecal blood test (called fecal immunochemical test, or FIT) can uncover serious disease in the stomach and intestine and enable the treating physician to refer the patient for further evaluation.

Conditions

  • Gastrointestinal Bleeding
  • Antiplatelet Agents
  • Oral Anticoagulant Therapy

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT)

A stool sample will be tested by the FIT test to examine the presence or absence of fecal occult blood. Each participant will be tested twice; one before starting the oral antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents and the second 3 months after the use of the medication.
