Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana/A.lapathifolia)IgE
Use
This test is used for the detection of IgE antibodies specific to Horseradish, which can help in diagnosing allergic reactions related to exposure to this substance. Measuring IgE levels can aid in understanding the patient's allergic response to horseradish and guide in potential avoidance strategies.
Special Instructions
Blood should be drawn in a plain red-top tube or a serum gel tube; the specimen needs to be refrigerated in a plastic vial. Check with the performing laboratory for specific sample handling requirements.
Limitations
The test specifically measures IgE antibodies against horseradish. It does not cover other potential allergens, so a negative result does not rule out other allergic conditions. Results must be interpreted in the clinical context of the patient.
