IgEvereanalüüsi

IgEvereanalüüs, also known as a specific IgE blood test, is a diagnostic tool used to detect and quantify the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in a person's blood serum. This test is primarily employed in the diagnosis of allergic diseases. When the body encounters an allergen, such as pollen, dust mites, or certain foods, the immune system can produce specific IgE antibodies against it. Elevated levels of these specific IgE antibodies in the blood suggest a sensitization to that particular allergen. The IgEvereanalüüs can identify which specific allergens a person is allergic to by measuring the IgE response to a panel of common allergens. The results are typically reported as a numerical value, often categorized into classes that indicate the likelihood of an allergic reaction. This test is a valuable alternative or complement to skin prick tests, especially in individuals who cannot undergo skin testing due to skin conditions, medication use, or severe allergic reactions. The information obtained from an IgEvereanalüüs helps clinicians to confirm a diagnosis of allergy, determine the causative allergen, and guide treatment strategies, including allergen avoidance and immunotherapy.
