Allergy - Adult Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP near me in Jamshedpur

The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.

Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

The allergy Dust Panel is a comprehensive test used to identify allergic reactions to common household allergens, including house dust, house dust mites, and German cockroaches. This panel measures the body's immune response by detecting specific IgE antibodies produced in reaction to these allergens. House dust consists of a variety of particles, such as fabric fibers, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores, which can trigger allergic reactions. House dust mites, microscopic organisms that thrive in warm, humid environments, are a major component of house dust and a common cause of allergic rhinitis and asthma. German cockroaches, on the other hand, prevalent in many households, produce allergens in their saliva, feces, and body parts, which can exacerbate asthma and other respiratory conditions. By evaluating the presence of IgE antibodies against these specific allergens, the Dust Panel helps in the accurate diagnosis and management of allergy symptoms, guiding appropriate treatment and preventive measures.

This test detects specific molds responsible for causing the symptoms of an allergy.

This test confirms the specific animal that triggers the allergic reaction in an individual and causes allergic symptoms.

This test identifies the specific grass variety causing the allergy.

This test detects the specific weed causing the allergy.

This test detects specific trees responsible for causing the allergy symptoms.

The Food Panel measures the body's immune response to specific food allergens, including egg whites, soybean, peanut, wheat, cod fish, shrimp/prawns, blue mussel, and cow milk. By analyzing the immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which are produced by the immune system in reaction to these allergens, the test helps identify food sensitivities and allergic reactions. Detecting elevated levels of IgE antibodies to these foods can confirm an allergy, allowing for accurate diagnosis and management of allergic conditions. Getting tested helps guide dietary adjustments and treatment plans to prevent adverse reactions and ensure overall well-being.
