Understanding Allergy - Non-vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP in Noida
What is Allergy - Non-vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP in Noida?
Allergy - Non-vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP detects allergies against various non-vegetarian foods. Since it is a food-related allergy, it commonly causes gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, diarrhea, etc., but may even lead to other skin-related and respiratory symptoms like Itching, running nose, sneezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and hives. An Allergy - Non-vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP is a specialized allergy test that evaluates your Total IgE (antibodies produced by the immune system in response to allergens) as well as specific IgE against 10 distinct non-vegetarian food allergens using the ImmunoCAP technique. Based on the results the source of allergy/allergies is determined and the course of treatment is decided accordingly.

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. Normally, IgE is present in very small 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.
