Allergic diseases are immune system disorders where the body overreacts to normally harmless substances called allergens, causing conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies. These conditions are caused by elevated levels of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that trigger inflammatory responses when exposed to specific allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, or certain foods. The Respiratory Allergy Profile is the most important test for diagnosing allergic diseases because it measures specific IgE antibodies against common environmental allergens.

Allergic diseases are caused by an overactive immune response to harmless substances called allergens. When you encounter allergens like pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, or certain foods, your immune system mistakenly identifies them as threats and produces Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These IgE antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals from immune cells, causing symptoms like sneezing, itching, wheezing, skin rashes, and digestive problems. Common triggers include tree and grass pollens, animal proteins, insect venom, latex, and foods like peanuts, shellfish, eggs, and dairy products.
The Respiratory Allergy Profile Region XIV: CA, central valley is the most important test for diagnosing allergic diseases because it measures specific IgE antibodies against common environmental allergens in your region. This comprehensive panel identifies exactly which substances trigger your immune system, whether it is tree pollen, grass, weeds, mold, dust mites, or animal dander. By detecting elevated IgE levels for specific allergens, the test helps diagnose conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis (hay fever), and atopic dermatitis while pinpointing your exact triggers. This precise identification allows your healthcare provider to create targeted treatment plans, recommend effective avoidance strategies, and potentially pursue immunotherapy options.
You should get tested if you experience recurring symptoms like sneezing, runny or stuffy nose, itchy and watery eyes, wheezing or difficulty breathing, skin rashes or hives, or digestive issues after eating certain foods. Testing is especially important if your symptoms worsen during specific seasons, after being around pets, or in dusty environments, as this pattern suggests environmental allergies. You should also consider testing if over-the-counter allergy medications are not providing relief, if symptoms interfere with your daily activities or sleep quality, or if you have a family history of allergic diseases like asthma or eczema.

What this means
Your total IgE level is elevated, which indicates your immune system is actively responding to allergens in your environment. This is common in people with respiratory allergies and suggests you're sensitized to one or more of the allergens tested in this panel. Elevated IgE often correlates with symptoms like sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes.
