Egg Component Allergy Test in Columbia, Maryland

Same day and Affordable Egg Component Allergy Test, Locations Nationwide

Concerned that you or someone you know may be allergic to eggs? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable Egg Component Allergy Test in Columbia, MD. This test is used to determine if a person may have an allergic reaction to eggs. Most allergies to chicken eggs are caused by a reaction to the egg whites. It is rare for an allergic reaction to be triggered by the yolk.

Allergy testing measures IgE antibodies to determine the severity of an allergy. Antibodies are created by the immune system to repel allergens. This egg component test looks for IgE antibodies to 2 specific proteins found in egg whites, Ovalbumin and Ovomucoid. Both of these egg white proteins are found in raw eggs. However, ovalbumin breaks down at higher temperatures, such as when the egg is cooked. Having IgE antibodies against a specific egg protein can indicate if a person is more likely to have allergic symptoms.

The basic Egg White Allergy Test, Egg Yolk Allergy Test and Whole Egg Allergy Test are also available. They provide IgE antibody measurements without specifying proteins like the Egg Component test. If other food allergies are suspected, our food panels include egg and other common food allergens. The Food Allergy Panel 1 tests for 10 food products including Egg, Whole. Food Allergy Panel 2 tests for 15 food allergens including Egg Whites. Food Allergy Panel 3 also tests for Egg Whites and 11 other food allergens.
