What is Allergy - Spices Panel, ImmunoCAP in Ahmedabad?
An Allergy - Spices Panel, ImmunoCAP is used to check whether you are allergic to protein found in some common spices along with a total IgE test by measuring your IgE levels. IgE is a specific antibody or protein that is produced when you have an allergic reaction in your body. This can cause a variety of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, such as skin rashes, itching, swelling, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis (a potentially life-threatening allergic reaction). By identifying specific spices that cause an allergic reaction, this panel can help you manage your food habits and treatment more effectively. It can also help improve overall health by eliminating foods that cause allergic reactions. 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.

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.
