Does anyone know anything about FIT test results

I recently had bloods and a FIT test done for weight loss and dizzyness.

My bloods were all markets as satisfactory although iron looks a bit low to me at 56 (ref 30-250)

My FIT test came back as 6. The reference range says it should be <5 yet it is marked as satisfactory.

Can anyone tell me whether I need to request a referral for this? I have not noticed any specific bowel symptoms and the weight loss could be due to a switch to a healthier diet. Not sure about the dizzyness.

Generally under 9 is okay

When my qfit test was positive - both times it was over 10 - 14 & 2
That was due to bowel polyps that were then removed & biopsies in an urgent colonoscopy

Since then ive had another qfit test
And was negative
Witha score of 4

Under 9 is deemed ok here

Perhaps do another qfit test in a month or 2 if still symptoms of weight loss etc
Without causes found ?

Thanks all. If it is 6 does that mean there is still some blood and the reason for it needs investigating e.g piles, polyps etc or is it normal to have a little blood?

Score above 9 is deemed normal
