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.
