What is measured in the allergy test (IgE)?

Efficient allergy detection

GetTested's Rapid Allergy Test (IgE) allows for rapid identification of potential allergies. Results are available within minutes after a small blood sample is taken and applied to the test cassette. This test is therefore suitable for people who need quick information about possible allergic reactions.

Why test IgE levels?

Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a key role in the body's immune response to toxins, parasites, and environmental factors, but can also trigger allergic reactions. Elevated IgE levels can indicate conditions such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. Elevated IgE levels can be quickly detected with this rapid test to initiate further steps.

Common allergy symptoms

Allergic reactions are often associated with symptoms such as sneezing, itching, rash, and swelling. If these symptoms occur and you're unsure whether it's an allergy or something else, the rapid allergy test (IgE) can quickly clarify the situation.

Interpretation of the results

The test guarantees reliable results with a relative sensitivity of 100.0% and a specificity of over 98.0%. A positive result indicates elevated IgE levels, a sign of an allergic reaction; a negative result indicates IgE levels within the normal range.
