Allergen Diagnostic

Allergens are substances that cause an allergic reaction. Very often, doctors are faced with allergic reactions of various types. There are many types of allergens, but most often there are allergies to food, plants, dust, mushrooms, etc. Today, almost all allergens are known, therefore, preventive and therapeutic work has been successfully developed to prevent the development of allergic diseases. Modern diagnostics have also been developed to identify existing allergies in a patient. And in this matter, an important role is played not just by testing the blood for specific allergens or the total amount of antibodies, but by their laboratory determination in the human biological environment - in urine, blood serum, saliva, etc.

**General scheme for determining the level of allergens** Diagnostics consists of identifying a certain period of time from the introduction of the allergen to the occurrence of an immune response in the patient. Laboratory diagnosis of allergies is quite multifaceted, but it is based on three main methods of identifying the disease: skin, provocative, and radioallergosorbent tests. Skin testing involves injecting a small amount of an allergen drug under the skin. It should be borne in mind that this may cause a weakening of the immune system. The method of such tests can be used to analyze sensitivity to various allergens. Identifying their number allows you to judge the strength of your inflammatory process. If you are prescribed skin tests and you are very impressionable, you can conduct tests where a puncture is made with a specially thin needle of a very small size (up to 4 mm). One of the most common ways to identify allergies is a provocative test. Here
