Get Allergy Test with Best Cost in Kolkata – Accuhealth Diagnostics

An allergy test is a diagnostic exam performed by a trained allergy specialist. An allergy test is conducted to determine if your body has gotten an allergic reaction to a known substance. The exam can be in the form of a blood test; the test can also be conducted in the form of a skin test (prick/patch).

Your body’s natural defense is your immune system. Allergies occur when your immune system overreacts to something present in your environment. For example, pollen can cause the immune system to overreact but it is normally harmless. This overreaction can lead to:

a runny nose
sneezing
blocked sinuses
itchy, watery eyes
coughing or wheezing

The different types of allergens

Substances that can cause an allergic reaction are referred to as allergens. Primarily, there are three different types of allergens:

Inhaled allergens: These allergens affect the body when they come in contact with the lungs or with the membranes of the nostrils or with the throat. The most common allergen that you can possibly inhale is pollen.
Ingested allergens: These allergens are present in certain foods like soy, peanuts, and seafood.
Contact allergens: These contact allergens must come in contact with the skin in order to produce a reaction. An example of a reaction from a contact allergen is the rash and also the itching caused by poison ivy.

Allergy tests normally expose you to a very small amount of a specific allergen. Your reaction is recorded after that.

Why is an allergy testing performed

The most common type of allergens by far are the inhaled allergens.

According to the World Allergy Organization, asthma disease accounts for 250,000 deaths annually. As asthma is considered an allergic disease process, these deaths can be avoided with proper allergy care.

Pollens
molds, or

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of an allergy test?

This will depend on the lab from where you are getting the tests done. The average price of a comprehensive allergy test could be as high as 7500/-(INR) in India, but it could be very reasonably priced in a city like Kolkata where the testing centers offer attractive discount rates that slash the prices to even as low as 2500/- (INR).

What tests are done to check for allergies?

The common diagnostic tests for allergies are skin and blood tests. Skin tests measure if your body has developed the IgE antibodies to allergens present in food, pollens, and animal skin. Your skin will react to these tests in 15 minutes if it is allergic. The RAST and the ELISA blood tests measure IgE antibodies to allergens in the blood. Blood tests are performed only when skin conditions are not favorable to carry out skin tests. Blood results take longer to arrive, are comparatively more expensive, and are not as accurate as the skin prick test.

What is the most accurate test for allergies?

The Skin Prick Test (SPT) is the most accurate and affordable test for allergies. Here, a small amount of the allergen is introduced to the skin by pricking and then the allergist waits to see if the skin develops reactions. The testing procedure is safe and the results show in as less time as 15 minutes.

What is allergy test normal range?

Value under 0.35 would mean that you have remote possibilities of being allergic. Values between 0.35 and 0.69 would mean that you might develop possibilities; values between 0.70 and 3.49 would mean that there is a positive chance of you being allergic; anything between 3.50 and 17.49 and above, will indicate the highest possibilities of you being sensitive and allergic to substances. High levels of IgE antibodies indicate allergic tendency.

What is Allergy test and what are the types of tests?

An allergy test measures the presence and levels of IgE (immunoglobulin) antibodies in the blood or the body when you are exposed to allergens in the environment, food, medications, insects, animal dander, chemicals, or any other source of the potential allergen. The different types of allergy tests are skin prick or scratch tests, intradermal tests, blood test, patch tests, and oral food challenges.

Can a blood test detect allergies?

Yes, an allergy blood test can be performed to detect allergies. It is mainly of two types – a total IgE test will measure the total level of the IgE antibodies in your blood, while the specific IgE measures how much of the antibody your body makes in response to a single allergen.
