WHAT YOUR RESULTS SHOW
What Your Results Can Tell You
Your report sets out your IgE response to around 300 allergens and their individual components, giving a detailed picture of what your immune system is reacting to.
Which allergens you react to
Your specific IgE levels to foods, pollens, dust mites, animals, moulds, insect venoms and latex, all from one blood sample.
Which protein is responsible
Component testing identifies the exact protein involved. This helps tell a primary allergy apart from cross-reactivity, such as between pollen and certain fruits.
How strong each response is
Each result is measured in kUA/L and graded from negative to very high, so you can see where your strongest responses are.
Your total IgE
An overall measure of the IgE antibody in your blood, reported alongside your individual results.
