What diagnostic methods are used in the allergology department

Skin allergy tests

This is one of the most accurate methods of identifying allergens. Microdoses of substances are injected under the patient’s skin, after which the body’s reaction is observed. The method allows for quick identification of what exactly causes the allergic reaction.

Blood test for IgE antibodies

This laboratory test allows for the detection of antibodies to specific allergens in the blood. The method is safe and is used even in children or in cases when skin tests cannot be performed.

Specific tests (immunoblotting, ALEX test)

Modern tests that can simultaneously detect sensitivity to dozens or even hundreds of allergens. They provide a complete picture of the immune response to major allergen groups.

How to prepare for an allergist appointment

Should antihistamines be discontinued?

Yes. To ensure accurate diagnostic results, antihistamines should be discontinued at least 5–7 days before the consultation. If you're unsure which medications belong to this group — consult your doctor.

Can allergy tests be done during an exacerbation?

No. Skin tests can only be performed during remission. In cases of acute reaction or infection, diagnostics are postponed. In such cases, other methods like blood tests may be recommended.

Why take with you the results of the previous steps?

Bring the results of previous examinations, a list of medications you are taking, and photos or records of allergy manifestations, if available. This will help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis more quickly.

Initial Examination and Consultation Are Conducted as Follows

The first visit to an endocrinologist is an important step toward the correct diagnosis. The doctor carefully reviews symptoms, analyzes risk factors, and prescribes the necessary examinations. You will receive a clear explanation of your condition and recommendations for further steps.

Assessment of complaints and medical history

The doctor finds out when the symptoms first appeared, under what conditions they occur, and what allergens are suspected. Hereditary predisposition to allergies is also assessed.

Examination

A visual examination of the skin and mucous membranes is performed, the presence of swelling, rashes, nasal congestion, and difficulty breathing is evaluated. If necessary, lung auscultation is done.

Assignment of tests

The doctor recommends undergoing allergy tests, blood tests for immunoglobulins, or other specific tests. The scope of diagnostics is determined individually.

Recommendations

The patient receives an individual action plan: allergen elimination recommendations, treatment regimen, and, if needed, referrals to related specialists.

Звернулася до Вікторії Сергіївни з дитиною через постійні висипання. Лікар швидко зрозуміла, що викликає алергію, та порадила змінити догляд і харчування. Стан помітно покращився. Дуже вдячна.

Current information

Symptoms and causes of allergy

Allergy symptoms are caused by a substance called histamine, which is produced by the body upon contact with an allergen.

Allergy may be indicated by symptoms such as:

  • Redness, rashes, or peeling of the skin;

  • Itching;

  • Sneezing;

  • Runny nose;

  • Swelling;

  • Red, watery eyes;

  • Difficulty breathing;

  • Nausea;

  • Dizziness;

  • Stomach cramps.

Allergy can later provoke complications such as eczema, bronchial asthma, etc.

Allergy symptoms are similar to those of many other diseases, so in some cases doctors advise patients to undergo additional examinations by narrow specialists to rule out comorbidities.

There are many substances that can cause an allergic reaction. The most common include:

  • Food products;

  • Dust;

  • Animal fur;

  • Medications;

  • Plant pollen;

  • Cosmetics;

  • Chemicals;

  • Insect bites;

  • Mold or fungal spores.

Allergy can also accompany the development of certain infectious diseases — this is called infectious allergy.

It is only possible to correctly identify all allergens with the help of clinical allergy testing. Therefore, self-treatment of allergies is usually ineffective because the person does not know which specific irritant triggers the reaction.

Anaphylactic shock is a severe form of allergic reaction manifested by rapid pulse, elevated blood pressure, difficulty breathing, swelling, or rashes all over the body.

Allergist appointment at Oxford Medical

Allergists at the clinic successfully help patients:

  • With food, drug, and other types of allergies;

  • With pollinosis ("hay fever" or seasonal allergic rhinoconjunctivitis);

  • With allergic dermatitis, urticaria;

  • With bronchial asthma.

The first step in allergy treatment is to eliminate the symptoms of an acute allergic reaction. If the causes that triggered the allergic reaction in the patient are not identified, such treatment will bring only temporary relief — the reaction will recur.

The main goal of treatment is not only symptom relief but also prevention or mitigation of future reactions upon contact with the allergen.

To determine the cause of the allergic reaction, doctors prescribe allergy tests, blood tests for antibodies, and other specific studies to identify allergens.

To alleviate the patient’s condition and relieve symptoms, the doctor selects antihistamines. If you have taken any medications on your own, be sure to inform the doctor, as they may alter the clinical picture of the disease and lead to an incorrect diagnosis.
