Order Allergy TestingAllergy Testing is a laboratory evaluation used to identify sensitization to specific allergens. It measures the presence of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that respond to substances such as pollens, foods, animal dander, molds, and insect venoms. The test provides objective data that can help a clinician correlate symptoms with potential triggers.
About Allergy Testing in San Gabriel
Allergy Testing detects allergen-specific IgE antibodies to help clarify which substances may be driving allergic symptoms.
The test works by measuring IgE antibodies that bind to individual allergens. When a person is sensitized to a particular substance, the immune system produces IgE that recognizes it. The laboratory reports a quantitative result for each allergen tested, often in kilounits of allergen-specific IgE per liter (kU/L) or a similar standardized unit.
Results are typically reported as a numeric value alongside a reference range or class score. A detectable level indicates sensitization, but it does not by itself confirm that the allergen causes clinical symptoms. Sensitization can exist without symptoms, and symptoms can occur with low or undetectable IgE levels. Clinicians interpret results in the context of the patient's history, physical examination, and exposure patterns.
Preparation generally involves following the laboratory's instructions. Some laboratories may request that certain medications be withheld before testing, but this should only be done under a clinician's direction. The test itself requires a blood sample, and results are usually available within one to three business days.
