Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does an allergy blood test work?

An allergy blood test measures the levels of specific IgE antibodies in your blood. When you have an allergy, your immune system produces IgE antibodies in response to particular allergens. The test involves drawing a blood sample and analysing it in a lab to identify elevated IgE levels associated with specific allergens.

2. Do I need to fast before an allergy blood test?

No, fasting is not required before an allergy blood test. You can eat and drink as usual. However, it is important to inform your doctor of any medications or supplements you are taking, as some can affect the test results. Your doctor will provide specific instructions if any adjustments are necessary.

3. How long does it take to get allergy blood test results?

Results from an allergy blood test typically take a few days to a week, depending on the specific test and laboratory processing time. Once the results are ready, your doctor will review them with you, explain what they mean, and discuss any necessary follow-up actions or treatment plans.

4. Are there any risks or side effects associated with allergy blood tests?

Allergy blood tests are generally safe with minimal risks. The procedure involves a standard blood draw, which may cause brief discomfort, bruising, or swelling at the puncture site. Serious side effects are rare. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms after the test, contact your doctor promptly.
