Isocyanate TDI (k75) IgE details
What Isocyanate TDI (k75) IgE shows
Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is an isocyanate chemical used mainly to make flexible polyurethane foams, such as those in furniture and mattresses, as well as some coatings and adhesives. Exposure usually happens at work, by breathing in its vapours. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to TDI bound to a carrier protein, to check for allergic sensitization in people with symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, or a runny nose linked to work. A positive result supports sensitization to TDI. Many people with isocyanate-related asthma do not have detectable IgE, so a negative result does not exclude it, and results are interpreted alongside your work history and lung function testing.
