Understanding Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP in Bangalore
What is Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP in Bangalore?
Allergy - Asthma / Rhinitis Comprehensive Panel, ImmunoCAP is done in suspected inhalant allergies causing asthma or rhinitis-like symptoms to determine the exact source causing it (allergen). This test measures the IgE-mediated response to different types of inhalant allergens like house dust, pollen, animal dander, and insects. Total IgE levels are also measured. Further tests for a specific allergen will help in further diagnosis. Since it is an inhalant allergy, it commonly causes respiratory symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath but may even lead to other skin-related symptoms like Itching, watering of eyes, rashes, and hives. Certain severe cases may also lead to anaphylactic shock. Based on these results further specific testing is recommended. It is often done for diagnosis when the cause of asthma or rhinitis is unknown.

Total IgE
Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.
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.
