Allergens, Inhalants, Profile 18 IgE
Also known as: COMPPRO 18
Use
This test is used to measure allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood and can help diagnose allergic reactions to inhalant allergens. These allergens include various animal danders, grasses, molds, and trees that may trigger IgE-mediated reactions. The test is crucial for correlating allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens, aiding specialists in managing and diagnosing allergies and potential anaphylaxis in patients.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Allergen results in the range of 0.10-0.34 kU/L have an undetermined clinical relevance and are intended for specialist use. The concentrations measured do not necessarily correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results upon exposure to specific allergens. Negative results do not rule out the presence of clinical allergies or the possibility of anaphylaxis, emphasizing the need for correlating laboratory results with clinical findings.
