Allergen, Food, Coriander/Cilantro IgE
Also known as: CILANTRO
Use
The test measures allergen-specific IgE levels in the serum to assess the likelihood of allergic reactions to coriander/cilantro. A comprehensive evaluation of the test results, along with clinical history and symptoms, is essential for the accurate diagnosis of food allergies. The test is particularly useful for specialists to evaluate potential allergic responses in patients with suspected food allergies.
