This test is a first step to finding out if your symptoms might be caused by an allergy. It does not diagnose allergy. The results of any allergy test need to be interpreted by a doctor alongside your symptoms and medical history. Your doctor will be able to advise you on any necessary follow-up action to diagnose and treat you.

Description

The antibody Immunoglobulin E (IgE) plays a vital role in allergic reactions to many substances. By identifying specific IgE in your blood, the klarify.me Home Allergy Test can give an indication of your sensitisation to potential allergy triggers, called allergens.

Many allergens. One test.
The Home Allergy Test analyses your body’s reaction to 280+ different allergens including:

Pollen 62
Pets 20
Mites 17
Insect stings 9
Moulds & yeasts 15
Foods 144
Other 15

Precision allergen component testing
The test detects your body’s reactions to both allergen extracts and allergen components. That allows for comprehensive precision testing right down to individual proteins in an allergen source.

What are allergen extract and components?
Allergen extracts have been taken from what is called a whole allergen source. For example, a peanut.

Allergen components are individual proteins in the allergen source. For example, the proteins of the peanut that may cause a reaction.

Some allergen sources and individual components only cause mild symptoms, while others can cause severe allergic reactions.

Precise technology – reliable results
Your blood sample will be analysed using the innovative technology ALEX – Allergy Explorer. ALEX measures allergen specific IgE and total IgE. This technology is also used by medical professionals to support the clinical diagnosis of allergies.

What do the results of the Home Allergy Test show?
The test results show the level of specific IgE in your blood and can indicate if you’re sensitised to the different allergens tested.

Testing for sensitisation gives a good indication of potential allergy triggers. Sensitisation is the first step of developing allergy. Sensitisation does not always lead to symptoms, but symptoms do not develop without sensitisation. Results from allergy testing need careful interpretation by a doctor alongside your symptoms and medical history. Read more about home allergy tests
