Allergy Profile
The Allergy Profile is designed to identify potential allergens and diagnose allergic conditions. This test includes a Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) to detect signs of inflammation and overall immune function. The Total IgE test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE), an antibody that plays a key role in allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels can indicate sensitivity to common allergens like pollen, dust, or food. Additionally, the Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) is included to assess the number of eosinophils, white blood cells that increase during allergic responses or parasitic infections. The Allergy Profile is ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties, helping to pinpoint the cause of allergic reactions. Early identification allows for effective management, whether through lifestyle changes, avoiding triggers, or targeted treatments such as antihistamines or immunotherapy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an Allergy Profile blood test check which allergens and what parameters are tested?
An Allergy Profile blood test measures total IgE, specific IgE antibodies against environmental allergens, food allergens, dust, pollen, mold, pets, and chemicals, helping identify immune sensitization and guide preventive allergy management strategies.
Could a high total IgE or specific IgE result mean I’m allergic even if I don’t have symptoms now?
Yes, elevated IgE indicates sensitization to allergens, which may not always cause symptoms immediately. Monitoring, environmental control, and doctor consultation help prevent future allergic reactions or asthma exacerbations.
Does the Allergy Profile also check for drug allergies or insect-venom allergies?
The Allergy Profile focuses on environmental and food allergens. Drug or insect-venom allergies usually require separate testing, such as specialized IgE panels or clinical challenge tests under expert supervision.
Can an allergy profile detect seasonal allergies, like pollen or mold, even if I have no current symptoms?
Yes, specific IgE tests in the allergy profile detect sensitization to seasonal triggers like pollens and molds, helping identify potential allergies before symptoms appear and supporting proactive management and avoidance strategies.
If I live in a dusty or polluted environment is an allergy test recommended even without obvious symptoms?
Yes, allergy testing can identify hidden sensitizations to dust mites, mold, or pollution-related allergens. Early detection enables preventive measures, reducing risk of respiratory issues, skin reactions, or asthma complications.
What is the difference between total IgE test and specific IgE panel in allergy screening?
Total IgE measures overall immune activity, while a specific IgE panel identifies reactions to individual allergens. Combining both helps doctors pinpoint triggers and create effective prevention or treatment strategies.
Are there any age restrictions can elderly people or kids get this allergy testing?
Allergy testing is generally safe for children and older adults. Panels may be adjusted for age, ensuring accurate IgE detection while minimizing blood volume and optimizing test reliability across age groups.
Is there any preparation needed before giving blood for an allergy profile (fasting, avoid certain foods)?
No fasting is required for an Allergy Profile. Avoid antihistamines, certain supplements, or medications that interfere with IgE testing to ensure accurate detection of allergen sensitizations.
