Test Overview
The Adult Comprehensive Panel (Phadia) test helps doctors identify grown-up allergies. Created by Phadia, a significant allergy testing company, this tool aims to enhance the understanding and management of allergies. Allergies occur when the body reacts to usually harmless things, causing issues like sneezing and itching.
The test's goal is to pinpoint the specific triggers behind these reactions. Using advanced technology, the special test examines numerous potential allergens. It involves extracting a small blood sample and searching for immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels. Elevated IgE levels may indicate sensitivity to specific allergens. The Phadia test covers common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet fur, moulds, and various foods.
