Allergy tests
Modern medicine has a wide arsenal of methods and means for the treatment of severe allergic conditions. To date, schemes have been successfully applied to reduce and prevent seasonal outbreaks. Of course, the patient cannot cope on his own, without qualified medical assistance. The doctor who deals with these diseases is an immunologist.
The first step in allergy treatment is finding the allergen and proving the allergic condition as such.
What tests will the doctor need to make a correct diagnosis:
1. General blood test with the formula - special attention is paid to the number of eosinophils. With allergies, eosinophilia will be observed.
2. Immunoglobulin E (Ig E) - an allergy marker - an indispensable element of a comprehensive study of allergies.
3. Search directly for the allergen. For this purpose, a number of methods are used, such as skin tests (prick test and scarification test), skin tests, provocative tests, elimination tests and the study of specific IgE antibodies to various allergens.
Our "DNA laboratory" carries out a comprehensive allergy test, which includes:
