Abstract
A urine occult blood test apparatus includes an insert member insertable in a working channel of a cystoscope and a urine occult blood test member provided at a tip portion of the insert member. The urine occult blood test member is covered during insertion of the insert member and exposed after the insertion. The urine occult blood test apparatus is inserted and advanced to just before the ureteral opening by using the cystoscope. It is directly observed that urine coming out from the ureteral opening is received by the tip portion of the insert member having the urine occult blood test member. Therefore, such a urine occult blood test enables to confirm which is bleeding, the right or left kidney or the right or left ureter.
