Hamster Epithelia (e84) IgE details
What Hamster Epithelia (e84) IgE shows
Hamsters are common pets and laboratory animals, and their dander, urine, saliva and bedding release proteins into the air that can trigger allergies. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to hamster epithelia to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain sneezing, itchy eyes, skin reactions or asthma symptoms that occur around these animals or in places where they are kept. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and exposure, and it may be evaluated alongside other animal allergen tests.
