Serum Specific IgE Test

A Serum Specific IgE test measures the level of allergy-causing antibodies (IgE) in your blood in response to specific allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, or foods. It helps identify what substances might trigger allergic reactions. The test involves taking a blood sample, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to detect these antibodies. A higher level indicates a greater likelihood of allergy to that substance. This test is useful for diagnosing allergies when skin testing isn't suitable or accurate, providing valuable information to guide treatment and management.
