What this laboratory test evaluates
Jack Mackerel/Scad (f60) IgE
This test measures an individual's allergic reaction to jack mackerel/scad by quantifying IgE antibodies. This test is performed in a lab and helps in diagnosing food allergies when combined with other clinical evaluations.
Why is this test important?This test is particularly useful in situations where skin testing for allergies is not possible or advisable. This includes cases with extensive skin disease, recent use of antihistamines, uncooperative patients, or a high risk of severe allergic reactions from skin testing. It's recognized by leading allergy and immunology academies as a valuable tool in these scenarios.
Understanding Your Results:A positive result indicates sensitivity to the tested food, but it doesn't necessarily mean you have a food allergy. Many people sensitized to certain foods don't experience symptoms upon eating them. A thorough evaluation by a healthcare provider is essential to diagnose a food allergy accurately. This test is a step in that direction, providing evidence of IgE sensitization to help in the diagnosis process.
What type of sample is required for this test?0.3 mL serum is needed for this test.
