Allergy - Adult (Comprehensive) Panel

52+ booked in last 3 days

Comprehensive Allergy Adult Profile Overview

An allergy is your body's reaction to certain substances. These could be food, pollen, medicines, and animal dander. These do not cause similar allergic reactions in other people. 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. Allergy - adult panel is a comprehensive screening that tests the body's reaction to 28 different allergens using  ImmunoCAP technique by measuring allergen-specific IgE against them. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

This test is done if,

  • You have certain allergic symptoms that cause pain and discomfort.
  • You have asthma. This test can detect substances that can worsen your condition and cause an asthma attack.
  • You have a severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. It can cause a dip in blood pressure and bring an anaphylactic shock. This test will help detect the reason behind the severe reaction.

Allergy comprehensive profile test measures the IgE-mediated response to 28 different inhalant and environmental allergens including Peanut, Wheat, Soyabean, Cow Milk, Egg White, Cod Fish, Shrimp, Blue mussel, Dermatophagoides Farinae, Dermatophagoides Pteronyssinus, House Dust Greer, Cockroach, Cat Dander, Dog Dander, Alternaria Alternata, Aspergillus Fumigatus, Penicillium notatum, Candida, Cynodon or Bermuda or Dhoob grass, Common ragweed or congress grass, common pigweed, johnson grass, Alder, papdi chibil, Birch, mesquite, goose foot, and mugwort.

Total IgE levels are also measured. 

Allergy comprehensive profile test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. 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. 

During the test, the lab technician will disinfect a spot on your upper arm. He will ask you to make a fist. This will allow blood to build up in the vein. Then they will insert a small needle into the vein and collect blood in a tube attached to the needle. Finally, they will stick a bandage on the spot. They will then send the blood sample to the laboratory for analysis. You may feel a slight pain for a few minutes at the site of the needle prick.

A high total IgE level or positive result indicates an allergy. Higher total IgE levels indicate multiple substances that you may be allergic to.

A negative result means you do not have an allergy. 

There are no specific preparations required for the test. However, it is recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider before taking the test, as they may have specific instructions or recommendations based on your individual medical history and current health status.

Histamines are chemicals created by your immune system. They are released in your body if it faces danger from an allergen. They can cause symptoms of sneezing, wheezing, coughing, itchy skin, watery eyes, nausea and vomiting. Antihistamines are drugs that work against histamines. They help treat the symptoms of the allergy.

Foods that cause allergies are,

  • Peanuts
  • Fish
  • Shellfish
  • Wheat
  • Soy
  • Eggs
  • Milk
  • Nuts, like almonds, walnuts, pine nuts
  • Spices like coriander and garlic
  • Meat
  • Corn
  • Seeds like sunflower, sesame, and poppy

If you have an allergy, you must take the following precautions:

  • Avoid allergens that cause a severe reaction
  • Take the antihistamines prescribed by your doctor. These medications help reduce allergic symptoms.
  • Ask your doctor about allergy shots. Your doctor may recommend taking these shots for three to five years. These shots help provide lasting relief from allergic symptoms.
  • If you are at risk of anaphylaxis, always carry an epinephrine injection for an emergency.
  • Carry a medical card and your allergy-related information. This will help others know about your allergy, and they will be able to help you in your time of need.
