About Allergy Testing in San Jose
An allergy test measures the body's immune response to specific allergens, most commonly by detecting allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood.
The immune system produces immunoglobulin E, or IgE, in response to substances it mistakenly identifies as threats. Allergy testing quantifies IgE directed at particular allergens, such as pollens, foods, animal dander, molds, or insect venoms.
Blood-based allergy testing involves a standard blood draw, and the sample is analyzed in a laboratory for antibody levels against a panel of allergens. Results are reported as numeric values or graded classifications that indicate the likelihood and strength of sensitization.
Elevated IgE to a given allergen suggests sensitization, but it does not by itself confirm that the allergen causes symptoms. Results are therefore interpreted alongside a person's medical history and reported symptoms.
