IgE Full Allergy Profile

Immediate allergy response is mediated by Immunoglobulin E immediately after an individual comes in contact with an allergen. The body incorrectly recognizes the non-harmful materials as harmful intruders. It then triggers the immune response to release histamine and inflammatory substances to defend against these “intruders”, which leads to allergy symptoms, such as bronchial contraction, asthma, eczema, wind disease, allergic rhinitis, etc.

Reasons for allergy:

  • Genetic effects
  • Exposure levels to allergens
