Allergy - Milk & Milk Product Panel
Understanding Allergy - Milk & Milk Product Panel
What is Allergy - Milk & Milk Product Panel?
The Allergy - Milk & Milk Product Panel is done in suspected allergies due to milk and milk products including milk proteins for determining the exact allergen causing the allergic reaction. Milk allergy test measures the IgE mediated response to 5 components of milk and milk products including milk proteins milk, alpha lactalbumin, beta lactoglobulin, casein, bovine serum albumin. Along with these the Total IgE levels are also measured. Allergy - Milk & Milk Product Panel should be done by anyone experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction to any type of milk or milk product. This includes those who experience an allergic reaction after ingesting dairy products or even those with a family history of allergies to milk and milk products. Since it is a food-related allergy, it commonly causes gastrointestinal symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and vomiting, but may even lead to other skin-related symptoms like itching, running nose, sneezing, coughing, and hives. Certain severe cases may also lead to anaphylactic shock.

Total IgE
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.
