Allergy IgE Test

WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?

ALLERGY IgE TEST is for all those people who show the symptoms of an allergic reaction: itching and/or skin redness, eyes irritation and repeated sneezing.

Early identifying a possible allergic reaction allows the doctor to recommend his/her patient in-depth examinations that can detect the cause.

ALLERGY & IgE ANTIBODIES

Immunoglobulins E (IgE) represent the class of antibodies mainly involved in allergic reactions. Under normal conditions, IgE are found in blood in small amounts but, when they get in contact with the substance towards which the allergy occurs, their concentration increases.

An increase in IgE can trigger a series of domino reactions that cause the onset of the main symptoms of an allergic reaction: skin rash, itching, repeated sneezing, tearing, burning eyes and, in some cases, anaphylactic shock. By determining the higher-than-normal IgE levels, a doctor can refer to a more specific search for substances that cause an allergic reaction and define an adequate therapy.
