Max Allergy Profile-Comprehensive

A complete allergy profile test, often called an allergy panel or allergy screening test, can help doctors pinpoint the precise allergens causing a patient's symptoms. Allergens are defined as non-harmful chemicals that can trigger allergic reactions. Comprehensive allergy profile testing provides a fuller picture of an individual's allergic sensitivity compared to standard skin prick tests. The human body produces an antibody called IgE. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a blood protein measured in an allergy profile blood test. Someone with allergies may have higher than normal levels of the antibody IgE in their blood. When a person has an allergy, their immune system reacts to the foreign substances (allergens), resulting in increased production of Immunoglobulin E in the body.
