Allergen, Individual-Food Mushroom champignon / Agaricus hortensis Test

also known as: Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay

An allergy is a reaction by your immune system to something that does not bother most other people. People who have allergies often are sensitive to more than one thing.

Normally, your immune system fights germs. It is your body's defense system. In most allergic reactions, however, it is responding to a false alarm. Genes and the environment probably both play a role. Allergies can cause a variety of symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing, itching, rashes, swelling, or asthma. Allergies can range from minor to severe. Anaphylaxis is a severe reaction that can be life-threatening. Allergy Mushroom test is performed on a sample of blood to measure the level of IgE Antibodies in the blood. It is performed to confirm Mushroom Allergy and also during the treatment and after the treatment of Mushroom Allergy. It is also known as Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay

There is no need for any special preparation for Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay Blood. The doctor must be informed if you are on any medications. The doctor must also be aware of any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay Blood. If the conditions or medications could potentially harm the testing procedure or lead to a negative reaction then the doctor will ask you to take the specific precautions.
Testing for IgE antibodies may be useful to establish the diagnosis of an allergic disease and to define the allergens responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. The normal result for Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay Blood for IgE Antibodies is Increased IgE (>100 kU/l) is seen if the person is allergic to the specific substance for Unisex gender and for All age groups. Allergen results of 0.10-0.34 kU/L are intended for specialist use as the clinical relevance is undetermined. Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.
Allergy Mushroom Enzyme Assay Blood is done using Enzyme Assay method on a Blood sample. This procedure involves detection of allergen specific IgE in a blood sample Separate serum from cells ASAP or within 2 hours of collection. Transfer 0.25 mL serum plus 0.1 mL for each additional allergen ordered to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. (Min: 0.25 mL plus 0.04 mL for each allergen ordered)
