The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) test is used to quantify the total level of IgE antibodies in your blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) secreted by plasma cells (immune cells) when the body identifies a dangerous foreign substance like bacteria, viruses, or allergens. There are five basic forms of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. Of these, IgE plays a primary role in allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, pet dander, mold, latex, some foods (such as eggs, peanuts, or strawberries), or insect stings.

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. The Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

The Wheat ( Gehon / Triticum aestivum) test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies against wheat (gehon proteins. This test is a highly sensitive and accurate way to detect IgE antibodies, helping to assess the severity of the allergic reaction and guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Soyabean test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are directed against soyabean proteins. High IgE levels suggest an allergy to soyabeans. This test helps doctors understand how severe the allergy is, which can guide treatment and help decide how strictly the person should avoid soyabeans in their diet. It helps plan the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

The Cows Milk (Doodh) test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to proteins found in cow milk (doodh) such as such as casein and whey. This test is important for diagnosing milk-based allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like ike lactose intolerance or mild food sensitivities. It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Lemon test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to lemon proteins. This test is important for diagnosing lemon allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Tomato test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies against tomato proteins. This test helps determine whether an individual’s immune system is reacting to tomatoes, which is essential for diagnosing tomato allergies and differentiating them from other conditions like food intolerances or oral allergy syndrome.

The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the tomato allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Potato test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to potato proteins. This test is important for diagnosing potato allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Rice test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies produced against rice proteins. Elevated levels of these antibodies suggest an allergic response to rice. The test helps assess the severity of the allergy, which can guide treatment decisions and help determine how strictly the individual needs to avoid rice in their diet. It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Pineapple test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to pineapple proteins. This test is important for diagnosing pineapple allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Peanut (Moongfali / Arachis hypogaea) test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are directed against peanut proteins. High IgE levels suggest an allergy to peanuts. This test helps doctors understand how severe the allergy is, which can guide treatment and help decide how strictly the person should avoid peanuts in their diet. It helps plan the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

The Lentils test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are directed against lentil proteins. High IgE levels suggest an allergy to lentils. This test helps doctors understand how severe the allergy is, which can guide treatment and help decide how strictly the person should avoid lentils in their diet. It helps plan the next steps for diagnosis and treatment.

The Olive test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to olive proteins. This test is important for diagnosing olive allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.
