Understanding Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) in Hyderabad
What is Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) in Hyderabad?
An allergy is a hypersensitivity response of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain environmental substances using a specialized technique called ImmunoCAP. Such patients produce high levels of antibodies called immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to certain allergens present in the atmosphere. Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) is a screening test that helps in the diagnosis of Atopy or IgE-mediated allergy in adults and children above 5 years. You can order this test if you have sneezing, runny nose, hives, difficulty in breathing, itching, etc. This test measures Total IgE and specialized Phadiatop IgE using ImmunoCAP with comprehensive inhalant allergens like dust, pollen, animal dander, grass, weed etc present in air. Based on these results further specific allergen testing may be recommended. Getting tested helps in distinguishing atopic (IgE mediated) from non-atopic (non-IgE mediated) allergies and aids in getting appropriate treatment.

Total IgE
Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.
Unlike other antibodies, IgE is primarily associated with immune responses to allergenic substances, such as plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, and strawberries. Typically, IgE is present in tiny amounts in the blood. When the immune system encounters an allergen, it triggers the production of IgE antibodies. A Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

Allergy Phadiatop Adult
Allergy Phadiatop Adult test helps detect inhalant allergy-causing substances (allergens) and measures the immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated response to allergens like dust, pollen, animal dander, mold, grass, weed, etc. The most common symptoms that may be experienced include sneezing, runny nose, itching, diarrhea, and hives. Getting tested aids in distinguishing atopic (allergen-sensitive) from non-atopic (non-allergen-sensitive) allergies and provides appropriate treatment.
