Know more about this test

The Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel is a group of blood tests that detects allergic reactions to egg white proteins, a common cause of food allergies. It includes specific IgE against egg white allergen (whole extract) as well as its components or specific proteins, using ImmunoCAP technology. 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 Jalandhar with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

The Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel is a combination test of allergen-specific IgE against egg white, as well as measures IgE antibodies against specific egg white allergenic proteins using component-resolved diagnostics (CRD). 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.

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.

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

Understanding Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD 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-specific IgE antibodies and confirms egg 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.

Lab test results may vary across different laboratories. Abnormal test results require 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 Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel measure?

Contains 4 tests

The Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel measures IgE antibodies against both the whole egg white allergen and its specific molecular components using ImmunoCAP CRD technology. The ImmunoCAP assay reliably quantifies IgE antibodies, while CRD provides detailed molecular information about the precise egg proteins triggering reactions.

The major egg white components included in this panel are:

nGal d 1 ovomucoid: The major heat-stable egg allergen, often responsible for persistent and severe egg allergy reactions.
nGal d 2 ovalbumin: The most abundant egg white protein, typically heat-sensitive, linked to milder allergic responses and oral allergy syndrome.
nGal d 3 conalbumin: An egg white protein that can trigger IgE-mediated allergic reactions, often associated with cross-reactivity to other foods.
Egg white (anda): Represents the whole egg white protein extract used to detect overall egg sensitization. It helps confirm an allergy to dietary egg as a source of symptoms.

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

FAQs related to Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel in Jalandhar

What is the Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel?

The Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel is a group of blood tests that detects IgE-mediated allergic reactions to egg proteins, including whole egg white and specific egg components (ovomucoid, ovalbumin, and conalbumin).

Why would my doctor recommend this test?

How is the test performed?

The test requires a small blood sample, usually taken from a vein in the arm. No special preparation is needed. It is a safe procedure, and results are analyzed in a laboratory using advanced ImmunoCAP and component-resolved diagnostics (CRD) technology.

Are there any risks associated with the test?

The test is minimally invasive and generally safe. Risks are limited to minor bruising, pain, or swelling at the blood draw site. There is no risk of triggering an allergic reaction from the blood test itself.

Do I need to fast before the test?

No fasting is required for this test. You can continue your normal diet and medications unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.

What is the difference between whole egg white and component testing?

Whole egg white testing measures IgE antibodies against the entire egg white protein, indicating general sensitization. Component testing (ovomucoid, ovalbumin, and conalbumin) identifies which specific proteins trigger the allergy, allowing for a more precise diagnosis and personalized management plan.
