Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel near me in Tiruvallur

The Allergy Egg-White, ImmunoCAP+CRD Panel is a panel 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. Egg white allergy can lead to symptoms such as skin rashes, hives, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties, or in severe cases, anaphylaxis.

This 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. 

This helps in distinguishing true egg white allergy from cross-reactions with other foods or allergens, allowing for more precise diagnosis. Getting tested assists doctors in confirming the cause of allergic symptoms and planning the right management, such as dietary modifications, medications, or considering allergen-specific immunotherapy. If you're sensitive to any of these components, it shows that the allergen linked to that component is likely the main cause of your symptoms. Early and accurate detection is important for preventing severe reactions and improving overall quality of life.
