Allergens w/ Total IgE Area 2

Performed by: LabCorp

Detect possible allergic responses to various substances in the environment and evaluate for hay fever, asthma, atopic eczema, and respiratory allergy. The quantitative allergen-specific IgE test is indicated

(1) to determine whether an individual has elevated allergen-specific IgE antibodies;

(2) if specific allergic sensitivity is needed to allow immunotherapy to be initiated;

(3) when testing individuals for agents that may potentially cause anaphylaxis;

(4) when evaluating individuals who are taking medication (eg, long-acting antihistamines) that may interfere with other testing modalities (eg, skin testing);

(5) if immunotherapy or other therapeutic measures based on skin testing results have not led to a satisfactory remission of symptoms;

(6) when an individual is unresponsive to medical management where identification of offending allergens may be beneficial.

In the blood of healthy people, IgE antibodies make up less than 0.001% of all immunoglobulins. These IgE antibodies are key in triggering allergic responses when people sensitive to allergens come into contact with them. Structurally, IgE resembl
