Allergy Testing
Allergy tests may be ordered as panels or as
individual allergens. Submit 1 mL of serum for the first allergen,
plus 0.1 mL of serum for each additional allergen ordered.
Refrigerate. Turn-around time is 2-3 days. Use CPT code 86003 for
each allergen.
Allergen test methodology is ImmunoCAP. Reference
ranges are as follows:
Less than 0.10 kU/L: No significant level detected
0.10-0.34 kU/L: Clinical relevance undetermined
0.35-0.70 kU/L: Low
0.71-3.50 kU/L: Moderate
3.51-17.50 kU/L: High
17.51 kU/L or Greater: Very High
Allergen results of
0.10-0.34 kU/L are intended for specialist use as the clinical
relevance is undetermined. Although increasing ranges are reflective
of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, this may not
correlate with the degree of clinical response or skin testing when
challenged with a specific allergen. The correlation of allergy
laboratory results with clinical history and
in vivo
reactivity to specific allergens is essential. A negative test may
not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.
