Purpose Test
- Presence of allergy: The test measures IgE antibody levels in the blood, indicating an immune response to specific substances. Elevated levels suggest that the person may have an allergy.
- Identification of allergenic substances: The test helps identify which of the 34 allergenic substances trigger allergic reactions, assisting doctors in advising patients to avoid them.
- Assessment of allergy severity: Test results can be used to estimate the severity of the allergy. Higher IgE levels increase the likelihood of a severe allergic reaction.
- Immune system response: The test provides information about how the immune system responds to inhaled allergens, helping doctors understand how the body reacts to these substances.
- Guidance for treatment: Based on the test results, doctors can make informed decisions regarding treatment options, such as allergen avoidance or prescribing anti-allergy medications.
- Identification of high-risk groups: The test helps identify individuals who may be at higher risk of developing severe allergies or related conditions, such as asthma or allergic rhinitis.
