More than 50 million people in the United States have allergies. Finding out what a patient is allergic to is an important first step to effective allergy treatment. Today allergy tests are more convenient and accurate than ever before. When combined with a detailed medical history, allergy testing can identify the specific things that trigger allergic reactions.
How is allergy testing done?
Allergy testing can be done as skin tests or as blood tests. All Allergy tests are done under the guidance of an ALM allergy specialist. Our specialists are trained in the best methods for testing and treating allergies.
Why It Is Done?
Allergy testing is done to find out what substances (allergens) cause an allergic reaction.
Skin test
The skin prick test can also be done to:
Identify inhaled (airborne) allergens, such as tree, shrub, and weed pollens, molds, dust, feathers, and pet dander.
Identify likely food allergens (such as eggs, milk, peanuts, nuts, fish, soy, wheat, or shellfish).
Determine whether a person may be allergic to a medicine or insect venom.
Blood test
A blood test on a blood sample may be done instead of a skin prick test if a person:
Has hives or another skin condition, such as eczema, that makes it hard to see the results of skin testing.
Cannot stop taking a medicine, such as an antihistamine or tricyclic antidepressant, that may prevent or reduce a reaction to a substance even when a person is allergic to the substance.
Has had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis).
Has had positive skin tests to many foods. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) can find out the foods that a person is most allergic to.
