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
  • Candida albicans
  • Other environmental molds

Preparation Guidelines

  • Individuals with recurrent allergies
  • Patients with allergic rhinitis
  • People with bronchial asthma
  • Individuals with eczema or dermatitis
  • Patients with suspected food allergies
  • Children and adults with unexplained allergic symptoms
  • Individuals undergoing comprehensive allergy evaluation

Clinical Significance

Elevated allergen-specific IgE antibodies may indicate:

  • Food Allergy
  • Dust Allergy
  • Mold Allergy
  • Animal Allergy
  • Allergic Rhinitis
  • Allergic Conjunctivitis
  • Bronchial Asthma
  • Atopic Dermatitis
  • Environmental Allergy

Symptoms May Include

  • Sneezing
  • Runny or blocked nose
  • Itchy eyes
  • Skin rash
