Understanding Allergy – Non-Vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP
The Allergy – Non-Vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP offered at Curis Life Clinic, Andheri West, is a specialized test designed to detect allergies caused by common non-vegetarian food sources. Food allergies occur when your immune system mistakenly identifies certain food proteins as harmful and triggers the production of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, leading to allergic reactions.
This panel helps identify allergies to foods like chicken, egg, fish, pork, and beef, which are common triggers for many individuals. It also measures total IgE levels to assess overall allergic sensitivity. Detecting these reactions early helps in preventing complications and planning effective treatment strategies.
This package is recommended:
- To identify allergic reactions caused by non-vegetarian foods such as chicken, egg, fish, pork, and beef.
- To evaluate symptoms like nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nasal congestion, wheezing, hives, or skin rashes after consuming non-vegetarian foods.
- To determine the cause of unexplained allergy symptoms where the food trigger is unclear.
- To guide treatment plans, including dietary modifications and medication, for effective allergy management.
- To monitor ongoing treatment response and adjust strategies as needed.
- To identify at-risk individuals with a family history of food allergies or asthma.
What Does the Allergy – Non-Vegetarian Panel, ImmunoCAP Measure?
- Measures total IgE levels and specific IgE antibodies against 10 non-vegetarian food allergens (chicken, fish, egg, pork, beef, etc.).
- Detects the severity of allergic responses to these food proteins.
- Helps doctors create a personalized dietary and treatment plan to prevent future allergic reactions.
Preparation Before the Test
- No special preparation is required.
- You can eat and drink normally before the test.
- Inform your doctor about any medications, especially antihistamines or supplements, as they may temporarily affect test accuracy.
This panel, performed using the ImmunoCAP assay at Curis Life Clinic, provides highly accurate and sensitive results, helping identify specific food allergens and allowing for timely medical intervention.
