Understanding Allergy, Individual Marker, Soybean
What is Allergy, Individual Marker, Soybean?
Allergy, Individual Marker, SOYBEAN is used to check if a person is allergic to soybean and its products. Soybean allergy is a common food allergy. The doctor exposes various soy products to the skin during a skin-prick test. The blood test shows the total antibody (IgE) level. Abnormally high levels of IgE confirm the allergic reaction in the body. The symptoms can vary from mild to severe in different individuals.
In case of breathing issues, chest tightness, or fainting, the doctor treats with epinephrine injection. A mild condition such as nausea, stomach cramps, and vomiting is treated with oral antihistamines. There is no permanent cure for soy allergy. However, allergies can be prevented by reading ingredient labels and avoiding the consumption of soy products.
