Birch Components

This blood test is useful when you have symptoms such as hives, dermatitis, nasal congestion, red itchy eyes, asthma, or abdominal pain that your healthcare practitioner suspects may be caused by an allergy. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is a class of antibody (immune protein) associated with allergic reactions. It is normally found in very small amounts in the blood. This test measures the amount of allergen-specific IgE in the blood in order to detect an allergy to a particular substance.
Birch components can cause hayfever and allergic rhinitis. The test can help to diagnose true birch pollen allergy and better manage your symptoms.
