The test is the measurement of Dog dander IgE level. IgE refers to immunoglobulin E, which is an antibody produced by the immune system in response to an allergen, in this case, dog dander.
This test is performed to determine the level of IgE antibodies specific to dog dander in a person's blood. It is commonly done to diagnose or confirm a dog allergy. If someone experiences symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing, or asthma-like symptoms when exposed to dogs, this test can help identify if their immune system is producing IgE antibodies in response to dog dander. The results of this test can aid in the diagnosis and management of dog allergies, including avoidance strategies and treatment options.
