Allergy Panel - Eczema Comprehensive Veg
Allergy Panel - Eczema Comprehensive (Veg) Price
An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain substances like food, dust, pollen, drugs or even animal dander. These reactions normally do not occur in others. The substance causing the reaction is an allergen. Immunoglobin E is an antibody that the body produces in case of an allergic reaction. Total IgE test is a blood test used to measure the complete IgE levels in the blood, but it does not indicate what is the specific allergen causing the reaction. Eczema or atopic dermatitis is a skin condition that may lead to redness, dryness, itching and lesions on the skin. There may be various trigger factors that may aggravate the condition. Allergy-Eczema Comprehensive Veg is a screening panel that tests the body's reaction to 29 different food sources commonly consumed by vegetarians using the ImmunoCap technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly. Along with this the allergen specific IgE levels are also checked.
Allergies are a condition where the immune system reacts strongly against an external agent. An allergen is a substance that causes this reaction, and there are several types of allergies. Some people can be allergic to pollen, which is a type of dust that comes from flowers, while others may be allergic to certain foods. Some people may also be allergic to pet dander (a type of dust that is present in animal hair). Bee sting allergies are also common. Some may even be allergic to certain medicines; this tends to happen with medications taken by pregnant women or people who are taking certain antibiotics frequently. Immunoglobin E (or IgE) helps fight off allergens by producing antibodies.
Why is the allergy panel - eczema comprehensive veg test performed?
- An eczema allergy test is used to identify skin conditions and determine the cause of the allergy.
- Often, eczema is caused by a genetic trait. It can occur anywhere on the body, but certain areas are more prone to it, like the elbows, knees, neck and back.
- The test is different from the one prescribed for the diagnosis of urticaria or skin allergies caused by other factors.
- People with eczema may experience a range of symptoms, including the following:
- Redness
- Dryness
- Itching
- Skin lesions
- Further testing may be recommended based on specific symptoms.
- Some of the triggers that can worsen the condition are unknown, but eczema triggers may include plants, animal dander and food allergens.
- If experiencing symptoms that resemble those typically caused by an eczema allergy, then it may be worth getting tested for the condition.
