Table 7: Shows the outcome of FOBT positive patients. FOBT repeated after one month of treatment of patients with detected lesions. Nine patients with repeated the FOBT and eight of them had negative test, while 1 patient still have positive test result. It shows also a significant improvement of TSAT of all IDA patients with detected lesions (5 patients) after 1 month of treatment and IV iron administration. 4 patients had TSAT>20 while only one still have IDA. P value is significant (p=0.003).
