Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose allergies; sometimes to monitor the effectiveness of immunotherapy
(desensitization) treatment
When To Get Tested?
When you have symptoms such as hives, dermatitis, nasal congestion, red itchy eyes,
asthma, or abdominal pain that your health care practitioner suspects may be caused by
an allergy.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm.
How is it used?
The allergen-specific IgE antibody test is a blood test used to help diagnose an allergy to
a specific substance or substances for a person who presents with acute or chronic
allergy-like symptoms. This is especially true if symptoms are recurrent and appear to be
tied to triggers, such as exposures to particular foods or environments, and if other family
members are known to have allergies.
Other types of allergy tests may be performed by exposing a person to different
substances under careful medical supervision. The usefulness of these tests, however, can
be affected by skin conditions, such as significant dermatitis or eczema, and by
medications, such as antihistamines and some antidepressants. With some tests there is
also the potential for severe reactions, including, for example, anaphylaxis, which can be
life-threatening. In these cases, the allergen-specific IgE antibody test may be ordered as
an alternative, as it is performed on a blood sample.
The allergen-specific IgE antibody test may also be performed to monitor
immunotherapy (desensitization) or to see if a child has outgrown an allergy. Typically,
the health care practitioner will interpret the results of the test in comparison with a
person’s symptoms and any other allergy tests being performed.
