About Allergy Testing in Pasadena
Allergy testing is used to assess whether a person has developed an immune response to particular environmental or food allergens.
The testing process measures specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood or, in some cases, evaluates skin reactivity. Elevated IgE levels to a particular substance indicate sensitization, though sensitization does not always correspond to clinical symptoms.
Results are typically reported as numerical values alongside reference ranges or as class scores, depending on the method used. A qualified healthcare provider interprets these findings in the context of the patient's history and physical examination.
Preparation for allergy testing generally follows the laboratory's instructions. Some medications, such as antihistamines, may interfere with certain test methods, so it is important to disclose all current medications to the ordering provider.
