What does this test Cat Dander / Epithelium Allergy Test By ImmunoCAP identify?

Cat Dander / Epithelium Allergy Test By ImmunoCAP

This test identifies allergies to cat dander and epithelium. Cat dander consists of tiny flakes of skin shed by cats, while epithelium refers to the outermost layer of cells in the body. When a person is allergic to cat dander or epithelium, their immune system produces antibodies in response to exposure to these substances. This test measures the levels of specific antibodies in the blood, known as IgE antibodies, which are produced in response to cat dander and epithelium. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an allergic reaction to cat dander or epithelium.

Why is this test Cat Dander / Epithelium Allergy Test By ImmunoCAP taken?

This test is taken to determine if an individual is allergic to cat dander or epithelium. Cat dander consists of tiny, microscopic particles shed from a cat's skin, while epithelium refers to the outer layer of cells covering the surfaces of the body. Some individuals may develop allergic reactions when exposed to these substances, leading to symptoms such as sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and respiratory issues.

By conducting the Cat Dander / Epithelium Allergy Test using ImmunoCAP technology, healthcare providers can identify specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to cat dander or epithelium. This information helps in diagnosing allergies and developing an appropriate treatment plan, which may include avoiding contact with cats, medication, or immunotherapy.
