Know more about this test

The Allergy-CRD Egg Panel is a blood test that uses component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) to detect an individual's allergic response to specific egg white proteins, rather than the whole egg. This advanced testing method helps identify which molecular components within the egg white are triggering the allergic symptoms, allowing for a more precise diagnosis and personalized management of egg allergy. The panel aids in diagnosing egg-related allergic reactions and helps doctors create effective treatment plans to manage symptoms and prevent allergic reactions. It is widely available in Faridabad with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

The Allergy-CRD Egg Panel uses component-resolved diagnostics (CRD), an advanced method that examines IgE immune responses to individual allergenic proteins rather than the whole extract of the allergen. This advanced allergy testing method identifies specific molecular components (proteins) within an allergen that trigger an allergic reaction, rather than just confirming sensitivity to the entire allergen source. By identifying which specific proteins in egg white are causing the reaction, CRD helps differentiate true egg allergy from cross-reactivity with other food allergens.

Doctors may recommend this test if an individual experiences symptoms such as skin rashes, swelling, itching, abdominal discomfort, vomiting, or respiratory issues after consuming egg-containing foods. This test is also useful for individuals with a family history of allergies or asthma, as they may have an increased risk of developing an egg allergy.

Understanding Allergy-CRD Egg Panel

Eggs are one of the most commonly consumed protein sources worldwide, present in baked goods, desserts, sauces, and many processed foods. While eggs are highly nutritious, some individuals develop immune-mediated reactions to egg proteins, particularly those in the egg white. Egg allergy can cause mild to severe symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, respiratory difficulties, or, in rare cases, life-threatening anaphylaxis. In some people, egg exposure may also exacerbate conditions like eczema or asthma.

A positive test result indicates the presence of egg white-specific IgE antibodies and confirms egg white allergy. In such cases, avoidance of egg-containing foods is advised. However, if symptoms persist despite a negative result, further evaluation may be needed for other conditions such as non-IgE-mediated food reactions.

No special preparation is required for the Allergy-CRD Egg Panel. Inform the doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) or supplements being taken, as they might influence the test results.

Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation. Therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results.

What does Allergy-CRD Egg Panel measure?

Contains 3 tests

The Allergy-CRD Egg Panel measures IgE antibodies against specific proteins (molecular components) of egg white using advanced ImmunoCAP CRD technology. By analyzing the immune response at the molecular level rather than relying on whole egg extracts, the test identifies which proteins are responsible for triggering allergic symptoms.

The major egg white components included in this panel are:

nGal d 1 (Ovomucoid): The primary and heat-stable egg white allergen, often associated with severe reactions and persistent egg allergy. It is resistant to digestion, making it a key marker for true egg allergy.
nGal d 2 (Ovalbumin): The most abundant egg white protein, typically linked to milder allergic reactions. It helps differentiate egg-specific IgE responses from cross-reactive proteins in other foods.
nGal d 3 (Conalbumin): A minor egg white protein that may contribute to allergic reactions in sensitive individuals and is a useful marker for evaluating IgE-mediated egg sensitization.

By identifying the precise egg white proteins responsible for allergic reactions, this panel helps doctors confirm genuine egg sensitization, assess the severity of the allergy, and predict the risk of systemic or severe reactions. Elevated IgE levels to these components support tailored management strategies such as dietary avoidance, symptom control, and preventive care.
