Understanding Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP in Asansol
What is Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP in Asansol?
An Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP is used to identify specific nut allergies. Nut allergy is an immune system reaction that occurs soon after eating a nut. This panel determines your immune response by measuring the amount of specific antibodies (specific proteins) called IgE against common nuts. In addition, this panel also checks for Total IgE antibodies. By measuring IgE antibodies, a Total IgE helps identify allergic reactions and immune responses against these nut allergens. This panel can be ordered when you experience allergy associated symptoms such as tingling sensation, swelling, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, itching, wheezing, breathing problem, congestion, rapid pulse, dizziness, etc. Identifying the specific nuts that cause an allergic reaction can help you better manage your condition and health. No fasting is required for this panel. You can eat and drink normally as per your routine. However, clinical history, a record of information about an individual's health is needed at the time of sample collection.
Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.
What does Allergy - Nuts Panel, ImmunoCAP measure?
Contains 10 tests
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.

Hazelnut
The Hazelnut test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in hazelnuts. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly when consuming hazelnuts or foods containing hazelnut derivatives. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to hazelnuts, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Walnut
The Walnut test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in walnuts. These proteins can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly when consuming walnuts or foods containing walnuts derivatives. Elevated IgE levels suggest an allergy to walnuts, helping doctors diagnose and manage allergic reactions more effectively. This test is a highly accurate and reliable method for quantifying IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Peanut (Moongfali / Arachis hypogaea)
The Peanut (Moongfali / Arachis hypogaea) test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are directed against peanut proteins. High IgE levels suggest an allergy to peanuts. This test helps doctors understand how severe the allergy is, which can guide treatment and help decide how strictly the person should avoid peanuts in their diet. It helps plan the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.
