What does an allergy risk assessment test do?
The allergy test prominently measures the body’s response to specific allergens or triggering of different allergic reactions. In case of allergy, the immune system tends to overreact and produces specific antibodies (proteins) known as immunoglobulin E (IgE). The abrupt release of the chemicals tends to cause allergic reactions respectively.
What are the symptoms of an allergy risk assessment test?
In allergic reactions, one may develop allergic rhinitis when exposed to particular allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, etc. The prominent symptoms indicating an allergy test are:
- Headache
- Itchy or watery eyes
- Nasal congestion, sneezing, and running nose
- In certain cases, shortness of breath, wheezing and chronic cough are prevalent.
Why do you perform allergy risk assessment tests?
Healthcare providers may recommend allergy tests in case of the prevalence of specific allergic symptoms. An allergy test is also suggested in patients suffering from asthma. The test identifies particular allergens that tend to worsen the immune systems or aggravate the prevailing symptoms. One may also require an allergy test in case of severe allergic reactions, i.e. anaphylaxis.
What are the potential risks while getting an allergy risk assessment test?
An anaphylactic reaction is the most significant potential risk associated with the allergy risk assessment tests. It is observed to be a rare type of reaction and is treated with associated drug-like epinephrine. In case of the emergence of other severe adverse events, the caregivers need to provide necessary emergency care at the earliest.
What do the results of an allergy risk assessment test mean?
Allergy test results may indicate the following:
Negative: It indicates that the patient is not allergic to a particular substance. It is rare to obtain false negative (incorrect) results in case of allergy test (i.e. the test indicates the patient does not have an allergy when he does).
Positive: This indicates that a person is allergic to that substance. A false-positive result is possible, especially in the case of a blood (IgE) test. A false-positive result indicates the presence of allergy when it is not present.
