Understanding Allergy Eczema / Urticaria Panel (>5 years)

Eczema, or atopic dermatitis, is a chronic skin condition characterized by inflammation, itching, and irritation of the skin. This condition is often driven by an overactive immune response to various allergens, which the body mistakenly identifies as harmful. In eczema, the immune system produces specific antibodies known as immunoglobulin E (IgE) in response to allergens. It leads to flare-ups and exacerbation of skin symptoms.

The Allergy Eczema / Urticaria Panel (>5 years) is a comprehensive allergy panel that includes the total IgE test. It is used to measure the total IgE levels in the blood. In addition, this panel also detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies to a wide range of allergens that are associated with eczema. Common allergens include milk, egg white, codfish, peanut, Bermuda and Timothy grass, dust mites and cat and dog dander.

Doctors may suggest the Allergy Eczema / Urticaria Panel (>5 years) if an individual exhibits symptoms of eczema. Symptoms may include persistent itching, redness, dry, scaly skin, nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal distress. It is particularly useful for those with a history of eczema or other allergic conditions. Additionally, it is done in individuals who have not found relief with standard eczema treatments. Allergen detection through this panel helps doctors tailor appropriate management and treatment decisions.

Generally, no special preparation is required for the Allergy Eczema / Urticaria Panel (>5 years). Inform the doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) being taken, as they might influence the test results.

A positive test result means the person is allergic to one or more allergens in the panel. It can be further investigated through more specific allergy testing. If the result is negative, more tests might be needed to find other causes of the symptoms.

Lab results can vary based on the test kit used, as different methods and allergens can affect the results. Therefore, these results should be looked at along with the allergy symptoms.

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.
