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 Egg White (Anda) test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies against egg white (anda) 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 fish test measures the level of IgE antibodies that are specifically directed against various fish proteins. This test is a highly sensitive and precise method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions. 

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 Orange test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to orange proteins. This test is important for diagnosing orange 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 Peach test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to peach proteins. This test is important for diagnosing peach 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 Apple test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to apple proteins. This test is important for diagnosing apple 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 Banana test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to banana proteins. This test is important for diagnosing banana 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 Chicken test measures the level of IgE antibodies directed against proteins found in chicken. This test is a highly precise and reliable method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the chicken allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

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 Chick Pea test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are directed against chick pea proteins. High IgE levels suggest an allergy to chick peas. This test helps doctors understand how severe the allergy is, which can guide treatment and help decide how strictly the person should avoid chick peas 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 Shrimp test measures the level of IgE antibodies that are specifically directed against shrimp proteins. This is a highly sensitive and precise method that quantifies IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions. 

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 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.
