Ordering the IgE Inhalant Allergy Advanced Test (69) | Great Plains

Ordering the IgE Inhalant Allergy Advanced Test (69) from Great Plains helps pinpoint specific inhalant allergens that may be causing symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, or skin irritation. This test measures IgE antibodies in your blood, which are linked to allergic reactions from common triggers such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold. Interestingly, some people may have high IgE levels to certain environmental allergens without showing obvious symptoms, which can still affect their immune system over time.

When ordering this test, you gain access to detailed information about your body’s immune response to 69 different inhalant allergens. Benefits include:

• Identifying specific environmental triggers for symptoms like sneezing, congestion, or rashes
• Supporting targeted allergy management plans with your healthcare provider
• Reducing unnecessary exposure to allergens by knowing your sensitivities
• Helping to distinguish between allergy and non-allergy related symptoms
• Providing a comprehensive report for ongoing monitoring and follow-up

Who Should Consider Inhalant Allergen Sensitivity Testing

People who experience frequent sneezing, runny nose, or itchy skin during certain times of the year may benefit from this test. For example, someone who notices their symptoms worsen when cleaning the house or spending time outdoors in spring may want to know which specific allergens are responsible.

Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:

• Persistent nasal congestion or sinus pressure that does not improve with over-the-counter remedies
• Recurring skin rashes or hives that seem to flare up in specific environments
• Asthma symptoms that worsen indoors or after exposure to pets
• Children with eczema that flares up seasonally or after playing outside
• People with unexplained coughing or wheezing that only occurs in certain buildings, which can sometimes be linked to hidden mold exposure

Testing for inhalant allergies can help clarify which allergens are causing your symptoms, allowing for more precise management and avoidance strategies. Delaying this test may result in ongoing symptoms and missed opportunities to reduce exposure to specific triggers.
