About this test
The Allergy Comprehensive Profile is an advanced blood test package designed to identify allergic sensitization to a broad range of allergens. It combines multiple allergy panels into one comprehensive profile, including:
- Allergy Screen
- Dust Panel
- Food Panel
- Animal Panel
- Mold Panel
This profile measures allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to determine whether the immune system is reacting to environmental, food, or animal allergens. It helps healthcare providers identify allergy triggers and develop personalized treatment and avoidance strategies.
What Does the Allergy Comprehensive Profile Include?
✓ Allergy Screen
Provides an initial assessment of allergic sensitization and helps determine whether allergy-related symptoms are present.
✓ Dust Panel
Identifies allergies caused by:
- House dust
- House dust mites
- Storage mites
- Indoor dust allergens
✓ Food Panel
Screens for common food allergens such as:
- Milk
- Egg
- Wheat
- Peanut
- Soybean
- Fish
- Shellfish
- Nuts
- Fruits and vegetables
✓ Animal Panel
Detects allergies related to:
- Dog dander
- Cat dander
- Horse dander
- Cow dander
- Feathers
- Pigeon droppings
✓ Mold Panel
Evaluates allergies caused by fungi and molds, including:
- Alternaria alternata
- Aspergillus fumigatus
- Cladosporium herbarum
- Penicillium notatum
