Popis: The immunochemical fecal occult blood test (iFOBT) is a useful method to screen for lower gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding-related lesions. However, few studies have investigated the diagnostic utility of iFOBT in chronic kidney disease (CKD). We included 691 patients with nondialysis-dependent CKD stages 2–5 or those receiving dialysis. Bleeding-related lower GI lesions were identified by colonoscopy, and the diagnostic utility of iFOBT was evaluated. Bleeding-related lower GI lesions were found in 9.2 % of 491 patients with CKD stage 2, 17.8 % of 107 patients with CKD stage 3/4, and 25.8 % of 93 patients with CKD stage 5/dialysis (p
