Overview
The Allergen, Individual - Food Casein (Milk Protein) in Dahi test is a blood test used to identify an allergy to casein, a milk protein found in yogurt (dahi). This test is helpful for people who suspect they may have a casein allergy after consuming dahi and experience allergic reactions. The test analyzes a blood sample to detect the presence of specific IgE antibodies, which the immune system produces in response to perceived allergens like casein.
This condition is often confused with lactose intolerance because they share some symptoms, and both are caused by milk consumption. However, besides gastrointestinal discomfort, allergy to casein can be life-threatening in severe cases, so it is essential to distinguish whether you have a true allergy to casein or lactose intolerance.

Extreme dizziness or loss of consciousness
Specific IgE measures the concentration of circulating allergen specific IgE for food allergen Casein (Milk Protein).
This test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Both: Negative: < 0.1 KAU/L
Both: Positive: => 0.1 KAU/L
Detection of IgE antibodies indicates an increased likelihood of allergy to Casein (Milk Protein) that may be responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. A negative result indicates that the symptoms are not due to Casein (Milk Protein) allergies and other differential diagnoses must be considered.
