The occult blood test and hemosiderin test are chemical or monoclonal antibodies that can detect trace amounts of respiratory tract bleeding or sputum suspected of respiratory tract bleeding or hemorrhage caused by blood vessel hemolysis. Prussian blue staining can be used to check hemosiderin in sputum. Occult blood test and hemosiderin test: A small amount of respiratory tract or suspected respiratory tract sputum can be examined by chemical method or monoclonal antibody method.
