Allergy Screening Test
Allergy Panel - Adult Screening - 1 Price
Allergy Screening Test Overview
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. Allergy screening is often used as an alternative to Phadiotop test for detecting allergies along with Total IgE test. 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.
Test Overview
Allergy screening tests are simple medical tests. This is an important way to determine if a person is allergic to certain substances. They allow doctors to diagnose allergies quickly and accurately. There is no need for expensive or invasive diagnostic procedures. It's important to talk to your doctor before undergoing any type of allergy test. This will enable them to evaluate your history. They can then decide which test might be right for you.
