Understanding Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) in Panchkula
What is Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) in Panchkula?
An Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) panel is a customized set of blood tests available at an affordable price in Panchkula with Tata 1mg labs. This panel is intended for adults and children above 5 years of age to help detect immunoglobulin-E (IgE), a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to allergic reactions. It also includes comprehensive screening against a wide range of common airborne allergens (inhalants) such as dust, pollen, animal dander, mold, grass, weed, etc.
Your doctor may suggest the Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top (Adult & >5yr) if you exhibit symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy/watery eyes, coughing, wheezing, skin rashes, hives, etc. Generally, no special preparation is required for this test. However, inform your doctor about any medications (such as antihistamines) you are taking, as they might influence your test results.

Contains 2 testsTotal IgE
Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system. There are five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE.
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. A Total IgE test measures the concentration of these IgE antibodies in the blood, providing insights into the presence and severity of allergies.

Allergy Phadiatop Adult
Allergy Phadiatop Adult test helps detect inhalant allergy-causing substances (allergens) and measures the immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated response to allergens like dust, pollen, animal dander, mold, grass, weed, etc. The most common symptoms that may be experienced include sneezing, runny nose, itching, diarrhea, and hives. Getting tested aids in distinguishing atopic (allergen-sensitive) from non-atopic (non-allergen-sensitive) allergies and provides appropriate treatment.
