Phadiatop Adult (ImmunoCAP, IgE to Inhalant Allergen Mix)
The study of specific immunoglobulin E class antibodies using the Phadiatop test is conducted to detect allergic sensitization to the most common airborne allergens in adults. The test is used as part of comprehensive allergological diagnostics, in chronic allergic diseases, and for assessing and monitoring allergic reaction risk.
Test composition:
- Determination of specific IgE class immunoglobulins in blood serum
- IgE antibodies to a mix of inhalant allergens, including tree, grass, weed pollen, domestic animals, and fungal spores are tested
- The test aims to detect sensitization fact and degree of the body's allergic response
- The study is performed by the ImmunoCAP method, with high sensitivity and specificity
- The result reflects specific IgE concentration and is used for immunological assessment of the body's reaction to inhalant allergens
Clinical significance:
- Determination of specific IgE allows assessment of the allergic reaction character on contact with inhalant allergens
- The test is used for monitoring patients with chronic allergic diseases
- Results are used for assessing allergy development risk and monitoring allergen-specific therapy efficacy
- The study complements clinical data and other laboratory test results
Biomaterial: Venous blood
- Blood is submitted fasting
- It is recommended to avoid alcohol the day before the test
- Before blood collection, it is advisable to avoid intense physical exertion and stressful situations
- The attending physician should be informed about taking hormonal medications, immunomodulators, and antihistamines.
- Seasonal or year-round allergic symptoms in adults
- Allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, bronchial asthma
- Suspected allergic sensitization to airborne allergens
- Prolonged or repeated contact with allergens
- Need for dynamic monitoring of allergic diseases
An elevated specific IgE level indicates the presence of allergic sensitization to inhalant allergens
A low level may indicate absence of significant sensitization or formation of immunological tolerance
Final interpretation is performed by a physician considering the clinical picture and other test data
Which doctor to consult:
Allergist — for diagnosing allergic diseases, identifying causes of sensitization, interpreting test results, and selecting individual treatment tactics or allergen-specific immunotherapy
Immunologist — for assessing immune system status, analyzing immune response to allergens, and correcting immunological disorders if needed
General practitioner — for initial assessment of the patient's general condition, prescribing examinations, and referral to specialists
