About this test

The allergy profile checks blood for IgE antibodies against common allergens like dust mites, pollen, moulds, animal dander and foods. It helps find what you are allergic to.

Why is this test done?

  • Find triggers of allergy, asthma or skin rashes
  • Plan avoidance and treatment
  • Before allergy immunotherapy

Symptoms — when should you get tested?

  • Repeated sneezing or runny nose
  • Wheezing
  • Itchy skin or hives
  • Reactions after certain foods

Normal range

Each allergen < 0.35 kU/L

Reference ranges differ slightly between labs, methods, age and sex. Always discuss your report with your doctor.

If your result is high

A raised level for an allergen shows sensitivity to it; the higher the class, the stronger the sensitivity.

Common reasons
  • Dust mite, pollen or mould allergy
  • Food allergy
  • Pet allergy
