With a simple blood test, a healthcare professional can obtain valuable information to rule in or rule out allergy as the cause of your symptoms, by identifying the allergens involved. The test measures the amount of an "allergy antibody" called IgE in a blood sample. IgE levels indicate how likely it is that your allergy is contributing to your symptoms. Based on a physical examination, your case history and the blood test, a healthcare professional will be able to make a proper diagnosis.

ImmunoCAP allergy tests can be performed independent of

  • age
  • symptoms
  • disease activity
  • medication

You can get an IgE allergy blood test from your doctor.

Your doctor can offer you a wide range ImmunoCAP allergy blood tests. Having assessed your symptoms, your doctor will decide what allergens to test.

The test is sent to a laboratory to be analysed and after a few days the doctor will get the results. The lab test will give more exact and detailed information about what you are allergic to.

Ask your doctor for information on diagnosis of your symptoms and how they can help.
