Our Various Allergy Diagnostic Services
Blood Testing
In allergy diagnostics, blood testing stands as a cornerstone, offering a glimpse into the body's immune response to various allergens. Also referred to as IgE testing, this method quantifies the presence of allergen-specific antibodies in your blood, providing a clear picture of what your body reacts to.
This method is ideal for patients who may not be suitable for skin tests due to skin conditions or medication interference. It is also a critical tool in our diagnostic arsenal, allowing for precise allergy identification and management.
Skin Testing
Skin testing is a quick and efficient method for identifying various allergens, from environmental factors to specific foods. The procedure involves applying a small amount of suspected allergens to the skin and monitoring for reactions. Its immediacy and accuracy make skin testing a preferred choice for many, offering rapid results that facilitate the timely development of personalized treatment strategies.
RESTECH Testing
RESTECH Testing represents a cutting-edge approach to diagnosing and managing respiratory and gastroesophageal reflux diseases that may mimic or exacerbate allergic reactions. By non-invasively measuring the pH levels in the throat, RESTECH Testing can detect the presence of acid reflux, a condition often overlooked in allergy diagnostics. This innovative approach is instrumental in tailoring treatments that address both allergy symptoms and underlying conditions, ensuring comprehensive care for our patients.
Food Allergy Testing
Food allergy testing is critical for those experiencing adverse reactions to certain foods. Through a detailed assessment that may include skin prick tests, blood tests, and oral food challenges, we identify the specific food allergens causing discomfort. Understanding food allergies can transform your quality of life; we are here to help you make informed dietary choices that avoid triggers and reduce the risk of allergic reactions.
Pulmonary Function Testing
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) provides invaluable insights into the health and performance of your lungs, especially relevant for individuals with respiratory symptoms potentially linked to allergies. By measuring lung capacity and airflow, PFT helps diagnose conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), playing a pivotal role in developing effective treatment plans to enhance your respiratory health.
Patch Testing
Patch testing offers a unique avenue for identifying contact allergens, substances that trigger allergic reactions upon skin contact. This method involves applying patches infused with potential allergens to the skin, typically on the back, and observing reactions over several days. It's particularly effective for diagnosing contact dermatitis and pinpointing the exact substances to avoid, from personal care products to environmental irritants.
