Finch Feathers (re214) IgE details
What Finch Feathers (re214) IgE shows
Finches are small birds often kept as pets, and their feathers, dander and droppings release proteins into the air. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to finch feathers to check for allergic sensitization to these birds. A positive result can help explain nasal, eye or asthma symptoms that occur around pet birds or in homes or workplaces where they are kept. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read against your symptoms and exposure. Bird exposure can also cause other lung reactions that are not IgE-mediated, which this test does not measure.
