Allergy Test (IgE)

Efficient Allergy Detection

GetTested’s Allergy Rapid Test (IgE) enables a fast identification of potential allergies. After collecting a small blood sample and applying it to the test cassette, results are available within minutes. This makes the test suitable for individuals who need prompt information regarding possible allergic responses.

Why Test IgE Levels?

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a critical role in the body's immune response to toxins, parasites, and environmental factors but can also trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels may indicate conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. With this rapid test, high IgE levels can be identified quickly, helping guide further steps.

Common Allergy Symptoms

Symptoms like sneezing, itching, rashes, and swelling are often associated with allergic reactions. If these symptoms occur and you are uncertain whether they are due to an allergy or something else, the Allergy Rapid Test (IgE) offers a fast method to clarify this.

Interpreting the Results

The test has a relative sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of over 98.0%, ensuring reliable results. A positive result indicates elevated IgE levels, suggesting an allergic reaction, while a negative result indicates that IgE levels are within the normal range.

Extended Testing Options

For more in-depth insights, GetTested also offers lab-based allergy tests that assess reactions to specific allergens such as foods, pollen, and pet dander. These tests measure the severity of allergic responses, which can be useful for tailored treatment and lifestyle adjustments.
