What is analyzed?
Approximately 300 allergens and allergen components
The analysis covers a wide range of allergen sources and molecular components. The results indicate whether specific IgE antibodies against the included allergens have been detected.
Total IgE
Total IgE indicates the combined amount of IgE antibodies in the blood. This value is non-specific and cannot, on its own, identify the substance causing symptoms.
What does sensitization mean?
Detected specific IgE indicates sensitization but does not automatically mean that exposure will result in clinical allergy symptoms. Results must always be interpreted in the context of symptoms and actual exposure.
Common allergy symptoms and when the test may be relevant
The test may be relevant for recurring or hard-to-interpret symptoms, suspected multiple allergies, or when a more limited allergy test does not provide sufficient information.
- sneezing, runny nose, or nasal congestion
- itchy or watery eyes
- coughing or respiratory issues
- hives, itching, or eczema
- gastrointestinal symptoms associated with certain foods
Seek emergency medical care in the event of breathing difficulties, swelling of the mouth or throat, dizziness, or a suspected severe allergic reaction.
Who is this test for?
- For those who want to screen for a very wide range of allergens.
- For those with recurring symptoms who are unsure of the possible triggers.
- For those who want component-based allergy information.
How the test works
- Order the test and receive the sampling kit at home.
- Read the instructions and complete any necessary preparations.
- Prick your fingertip and collect liquid capillary blood in the provided test tube.
- Label, pack, and send the sample to the laboratory.
- The laboratory analyzes the included markers.
- View your digital lab results in your personal health portal.
Before sampling
No specific product-related preparation is required according to the current product documentation. Always follow the instructions in the sampling kit.
Laboratory and quality
The sample is analyzed at a medical laboratory accredited according to ISO 15189. The laboratory's quality assurance also adheres to Rili-BÄK guidelines for laboratory medical testing.
- Sample material: liquid capillary blood
- Sample collection site: at home
- Result: digital laboratory report
- Turnaround time: transport time and the scope of the analysis affect the total time
Results and reference values
The result displays the analyzed markers and any calculated values, along with the laboratory's units and applicable reference ranges. Results should be interpreted in the context of age, gender, symptoms, medications, lifestyle habits, and medical history.
Important information about the result
A health check can identify abnormal laboratory values but does not provide a medical diagnosis or rule out disease. Contact a healthcare provider in the event of significantly abnormal results, persistent symptoms, or concerns.
Results and interpretation
The result shows the laboratory findings for the included allergens and components, as well as total IgE. A positive result must be interpreted in conjunction with symptoms and exposure; it should not be used in isolation to eliminate foods from the diet or to initiate treatment.
Frequently asked questions
How many allergens are included?
The analysis covers approximately 300 allergens and molecular allergen components, as well as total IgE.
What is specific IgE?
These are IgE antibodies directed against a specific allergen or allergen component.
Does a positive result mean I am allergic?
Not necessarily. The result indicates sensitization and needs to correlate with symptoms and exposure.
Can the test diagnose food intolerance?
No. IgE-mediated allergy and food intolerance are different conditions.
What should I do if the result is positive?
Discuss the result with a healthcare professional, especially before making major dietary changes or if you have experienced severe reactions.
