Understanding the Complete Allergy Blood Test

What is a Complete Allergy Blood Test?

The Complete Allergy Blood Test is a laboratory test that identifies 300 specific allergic reactions in your body. This blood test measures the presence of IgE antibodies, which are produced when your immune system reacts to allergens. Therefore, it helps determine what substances, such as pollen, dust, or certain foods, you might be allergic to. This is crucial because understanding your allergies allows you to avoid triggers and manage symptoms effectively.

Why Should You Get Tested for Allergies?

Getting a Complete Allergy Blood Test is essential for several reasons. First, it provides clear and accurate information about allergens to which you may be sensitive. Second, knowing your allergies can guide your lifestyle choices, dietary habits, and environmental settings. For instance, if you discover a pollen allergy, you can take precautions during allergy season. This understanding is beneficial because it can improve your quality of life.

Interpreting Your Allergy Test Results

Interpreting the results of your Complete Allergy Blood Test is important to understanding your allergies better. The test will report specific allergen levels in your blood, indicating the severity of your reactions. If you receive positive results, consult with an allergy specialist for a comprehensive action plan. They may suggest treatment options such as avoidance strategies, medications, or even immunotherapy. Because these steps can significantly help manage allergy symptoms, understanding your results is vital.

This is the first allergy test in the world that can check for up to 300 allergens in one go, to quickly ascertain which is triggering your allergic reactions.

If you are suffering from an allergy and cannot determine what is causing it, our test will tell you the cause using a simple to read PDF report, provided within 14 working days from sample reaching the laboratory.

More Information

This Complete Allergy blood test is the first test in the world that can rapidly and reliably test for up to 300 allergens simultaneously. One blood sample is all that is needed to carry out a comprehensive analysis, making it a valuable diagnostic tool for the assessment of complex cases.

Anybody suffering from an allergy knows that it can severely impact your day to day life. Allergies can cause debilitating symptoms including itchy or watery eyes, itchy rashes, swelling, difficulty breathing, blocked or runny nose and coughs.

Managing these symptoms on a day to day basis, whether it’s all year round or at specific times such as during the hayfever season, can be exhausting – especially if you don’t know what is causing your reactions.

 

The benefits of this blood test include:

  • Analysis of up to 300 allergens to understand exactly what you are allergic to
  • Total IgE included – detects the presence of IgE antibodies in your blood, indicating an increased likelihood that you will experience any allergic reactions.
  • High specificity and accuracy
  • Easy to interpret PDF report detailing specific allergen reactions
  • Complete results report provided within 14 working days once sample reaches the laboratory

 

With a panel of almost 300 allergens including pollen, mites, cat and dog fur, insect venoms, moulds and yeasts, food or latex, supplemented with total IgE, our test can cover over 99% of the need for routine allergy diagnosis.

Most allergy tests either simply check for a small number of allergens, or will only tell you which category has caused an allergic reaction, e.g. Animal Dander, not specifically which animal. This results in further testing requirements, more money spent, and more confusion about what is really causing your sensitivities.

Our customers love us!

Excellent service

I was seen immediately on arrival and taken straight in for my procedure. The premises were clean and well maintained, and the staff were polite, professional, and very efficient.

Sophie

Results back within 24 hours

I wanted to have a blood test after a previous HbA1c result showed I was in the diabetic range. I had made some lifestyle changes about a month earlier and wanted to check my progress, but my doctor wasn’t able to retest for another two months, so I decided to arrange my own test. Goodbody made the whole process very easy and convenient, with straightforward booking and quick service. I received my results within few days, and my levels had improved, which was really encouraging and motivated me to keep going. It was well worth the cost.

James. S

Sent off for 24hour heart monitor

I ordered a 24-hour heart monitor kit on Friday and had the results by the following Tuesday. The level of service was excellent, especially given the current one-year wait for an NHS Holter monitor in our area!

Grace Lee

Got the PSA results next day

I completed the PSA test with the PSE EpiSwitch Prostate Cancer test in Soho yesterday and posted my samples at Soho Square at 10:30 am. I received my PSA results the very next day—outstanding service! Despite a BRCA genetic mutation, I am happy to report that I am cancer-free. Thank you, EpiSwitch. 5 stars!

Wilson. P

Someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind ease

I recently had a full blood count taken by a very friendly nurse at Superdrug. She completed all my paperwork for me and was incredibly kind. I received my results the next day. Because of my anxiety and having never seen a lab report before, I emailed for some clarification, and to my surprise, someone from Goodbody called me to put my mind at ease. I’m very grateful for the excellent service and will definitely be using them again.

Michael. T

Understanding of my fear of needles

The nurse was incredibly helpful and understanding of my fear of needles, providing constant reassurance and guiding me through the entire process to help take my mind off what was happening.

Illy. C

Definitely recommend

The team was friendly and professional, making the experience completely painless. The clinic was easy to find, with convenient parking available nearby.

Martin. K

You’re in good hands

I visited the clinic for a private blood test and was immediately impressed by the service. They offer a wide range of services, everything feels high quality and professional, and Emma, who attended to us, was fantastic! Whatever service you book here, you can be confident you’re in very capable hands.

Robert

Top notch experience

As someone who regularly needs blood tests due to diabetes, I can honestly say this was the first time I experienced absolutely no pain at all with the needle—truly none! There was also no bruising afterward. It was a really top-notch job and made for an excellent overall experience (something I’ve never said about a blood test before!).

Ashley. P

Friendly and relaxing atmosphere

I found the staff to be friendly, approachable, and highly professional. They explained everything clearly as they carried out the blood draw. The clinic was clean and thoughtfully set up to help patients feel at ease.

Lorra. L

Polite and efficient approach

I was impressed by the company’s focus on clear communication and professionalism. The procedure was quick, well-organised, and ran smoothly with no unnecessary waiting or confusion. I especially appreciated their gentle approach and how they put me at ease, which was reassuring since it was my first blood draw at the clinic.

Simon. S

Amazing service including nurse coming

Outstanding service, including a nurse visiting my home for blood work. Full body scans through Well Man and Well Woman were arranged within three days, including additional scans and tests which i had requested. All organised within two days and delivered directly to my home. Truly convenient and efficient service!

Andrew. B

Made a dreaded blood test so much easier

I had been feeling unwell for three years and had numerous blood tests through my doctor with no clear answers. I decided to try Goodbody Clinic and ordered an at-home menopause test. The results revealed that I have a low thyroid TSH level, and I am so relieved that this issue was finally identified.

Charlie. T

Truly fantastic local service!

From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Booking the appointment was straightforward, and the entire experience was well-organized and impressively quick.

Dmitry. R

Results less than 24 hours later

Even though I arrived at the clinic a few minutes early, I was seen immediately. I received my blood test results in less than 24 hours. Truly brilliant service!
