Description
The Allergy Blood Test identifies your specific allergy triggers from a single blood sample, offering a convenient and comprehensive alternative to skin testing.
About the Allergy Blood Test (IgE Panel)
This panel measures specific IgE antibodies your immune system produces in response to particular allergens, such as foods, dust mites, pollen, pet dander or mould. It helps pinpoint what may be triggering symptoms like sneezing, rashes, itching or digestive upset. Because it needs only a blood sample, it is convenient, is not affected by antihistamines, and is suitable for people who cannot have skin testing.
Preparation and turnaround
A simple venous blood sample is taken with no fasting required, and unlike skin testing, you do not need to stop antihistamines beforehand. Results are usually available within two to three working days. A doctor can help interpret which sensitivities are clinically relevant and advise on managing your triggers.
