What can I expect from this Allergy Complete Blood Test?

This test is the UK’s most comprehensive allergy panel with 295 allergens tested.

Allergies affect around one in four of the general population. Many allergic patients do not take their allergy seriously and are suffering from subsequent complications, e.g. hay fever, allergic asthma or are subject to unnecessary dietary restrictions.

This test can check for close to 300 relevant allergen sources (except drug allergens, such as penicillin).

We have the UK’s most comprehensive panel testing for molecular allergens, allowing you to assess the risk of food allergies and identify allergic cross-reactions (for tailored dietary recommendations).

Likewise, allergen-specific immunotherapy can be directed against the main trigger (available for pollen, house dust mites and insect venoms) of symptoms.

An allergy is not the same as a less serious food intolerance which is difficulty digesting certain foods and having an unpleasant physical reaction to them. This can be genetic and mostly mediated by IgG (not IgE which is measured in this allergy test).

Please note that currently these tests run with a 7 working days turnaround

What is an allergy?

An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system is stimulated by harmless substances (such as pollen, mite particles, etc.), resulting in symptoms such as itchy eyes, rhinitis, or, in rare cases, life-threatening reactions (anaphylactic shock). Immediate type allergies are primarily caused by antibodies of the IgE class.

The body produces IgE antibodies to fight foreign organisms, such as infections. In allergic individuals IgE is misdirected to fight harmless substances like pollens or house dust mite particles etc. This test looks for elevated levels of IgE which causes Type I allergies.
