About Allergy Testing in Lubbock
An allergy panel measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies or, in skin testing, the wheal-and-flare reaction produced when an allergen is introduced.
Blood-based allergy testing quantifies allergen-specific IgE in serum. Results are reported in kilounits of antibody per liter (kU/L) or as a class score, and they indicate sensitization rather than a clinical diagnosis on their own.
Skin prick testing applies small amounts of allergen extracts to the skin and records the size of any reaction after a set interval. Intradermal testing may be used when prick results are inconclusive.
Because a positive result can occur without symptoms, and a negative result does not always exclude allergy, findings are interpreted alongside the patient's history and physical examination. Preparation typically involves following the laboratory's or clinic's instructions regarding medications that may affect the response.
