What gets tested?

Allergies (58 health indicators)

An allergy is when your body's immune system reacts to something harmless as if it were a threat, leading to symptoms like sneezing, itching, or more severe reactions. This trigger, known as an allergen, can be something you eat, breathe in, inject, or touch. Common allergens include pollen, pet dander, bee venom, peanuts, and certain medications. When your body encounters an allergen, it can release chemicals like histamine, causing allergic symptoms.

Anaphylaxis is a type of allergy which is severe, potentially life-threatening and can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen. 

Testing for allergies helps identify specific allergens that trigger your reactions. Knowing what you're allergic to allows you to avoid those triggers and manage your symptoms better. It also prepares you to handle severe reactions, like anaphylaxis, effectively.

In allergy testing, the primary type of antibody looked for is Immunoglobulin E (IgE). IgE is a class of antibodies produced by the immune system in response to exposure to an allergen. When someone is allergic to a substance, their immune system mistakenly identifies this harmless substance as a threat and produces IgE antibodies specific to that allergen.

These IgE antibodies bind to the surface of mast cells and basophils, which are types of cells involved in the body's immune response. Upon subsequent exposure to the allergen, these cells are triggered by the allergen-bound IgE to release histamine and other chemicals, leading to the symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing.

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.

If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about. Please call our Customer Service team on 020 7183 3718 and if required we will be able to arrange another blood test appointment free of charge or post you a home testing kit which you can post back to our laboratory
