Allergy and intolerance laboratory tests
Why is laboratory testing important?
Laboratory tests can help identify or, where appropriate, rule out the underlying diseases.
However, it is important to highlight that the result of a laboratory test does not in itself constitute a diagnosis, only the results are included in the finding. You will receive the diagnosis, therapy or treatment recommendation from your specialist or treating physician who ordered the laboratory tests.
Contact your doctor with all laboratory test results.
Allergy and intolerance tests
When it comes to allergies, the body’s defence system reacts falsely and the cells of the immune system produce antibodies to defend against the suspected foreign substance.
In case of food allergy, the most common reactions are indigestion, diarrhoea, stomach pain, nausea, itchy skin, hives, chest pain.
In case of respiratory allergy, inflammation of the nasal mucosa (allergic rhinitis, hay fever) occurs, but in case of allergic asthma it can also affect the entire bronchial system.
There is also a so-called cross-allergy, which means that in case of an individual who is allergic to a specific ingredient, another allergen with a similar chemical structure also causes allergic reactions. With the help of laboratory tests, the foods and pollens that cause allergic complaints can be determined, so possible cross-allergies can also be filtered out.
