Allergen, Individual-Animal Goat Epithelium Test

Goats are one of the most common domesticated animals. They are bred for milk, meat and wool and are sometimes kept as pets. Exposure to epidermal allergens from goats may result in asthma and allergic rhinitis. Allergy Goat Epithelium test is performed on a sample of blood to measure the level of IgE Antibodies in the blood. It is performed to confirm Goat Epithelium Allergy and also during the treatment and after the treatment of Goat Epithelium Allergy.

No special preparation or fasting is needed for Allergy Goat Epithelium. Your doctor may order blood testing to determine how well your allergy treatments are working. Blood testing may also show whether you have outgrown an allergy. Inform your doctor if you are on any medications or have any underlying medical conditions or allergies before undergoing Allergy Goat Epithelium. Your doctor depending on your condition will give specific instructions. The allergens chosen for testing often depend upon the age of the patient, history of allergen exposure, season of the year, and clinical manifestations. Testing for IgE antibodies is not useful in patients previously treated with immunotherapy.

Testing for IgE antibodies may be useful to establish the diagnosis of an allergic disease and to define the allergens responsible for eliciting signs and symptoms. Testing also may be useful to identify allergens which may be responsible for allergic disease and/or anaphylactic episode, to confirm sensitization to particular allergens prior to beginning immunotherapy, and to investigate the specificity of allergic reactions to insect venom allergens, drugs, or chemical allergens.

Traditional allergy tests utilize the Skin Prick method to determine whether an allergic reaction will occur by inserting possible triggers into your skin using a needle prick. If you are allergic to the substance, you are forced to suffer through your body's reaction to the allergen. Allergy Goat Epithelium is done using Fluorescence Assay method on a Blood sample. This procedure involves detection of allergen specific IgE in a blood sample. The normal result for Allergy Goat Epithelium for IgE Antibodies is Increased IgE (>100kU/l) is seen if the person is allergic to the specific substance for Unisex gender and for All age groups.
