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.

The Tomato test measures the presence and levels of specific IgE antibodies against tomato proteins. This test helps determine whether an individual’s immune system is reacting to tomatoes, which is essential for diagnosing tomato allergies and differentiating them from other conditions like food intolerances or oral allergy syndrome.

The test is a highly precise and reliable method that measures IgE antibodies, providing valuable insights into the severity of the tomato allergic response and guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

The Onion test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to onion proteins. This test is important for diagnosing onion allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). By identifying the severity of the allergic response, the test helps doctors determine the best course of action for diagnosis and treatment.

The Celery test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to celery proteins. This test is important for diagnosing celery allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). It helps doctors understand how severe the allergy might be, guiding the next steps in diagnosis and treatment.

The Garlic test measures the amount of specific antibodies (IgE) in the body that react to garlic proteins. This test is important for diagnosing garlic allergies and distinguishing them from other conditions like food sensitivities or oral allergy syndrome (OAS). By identifying the severity of the allergic response, the test helps doctors determine the best course of action for diagnosis and treatment.

The urine yeast test measures the presence of yeast cells in the urine sample. The presence of yeast cells can indicate an infection or an imbalance in the urinary tract's natural microbial environment. Yeast is a type of fungus that naturally resides in small amounts on the skin, in the mouth, and in the intestines. However, when it overgrows, it can cause infections, such as yeast infections in the urinary tract which require medical attention. Therefore this test is crucial for identifying fungal infections, particularly those caused by Candida species, and plays a vital role in guiding appropriate treatment strategies.
