Inhalation allergens
Inhalation allergens are substances that we inhale and that cause an autoimmune reaction. The body sees the foreign substance in the air as a foreign body, after which we get (upper) respiratory complaints. Wondering whether you are allergic? Then test for the most common inhalation allergens. Complaints that are partly or completely caused by allergens are, for example, hay fever or asthma.
You do not need to fast for this test.
Are you curious whether your respiratory complaints are due to hay fever? Take your health into your own hands and have yourself tested for inhalation allergens in the air to rule out a possible allergy to the tested substances.
How accurate is the Inhalatie allergenen blood test?
The accuracy of the test for Inhalatie allergenen is conducted through ISO-certified laboratories. The accuracy of a test method is expressed in terms of specificity and sensitivity. However, the most important aspect is that the results are interpreted and accepted among general practitioners and hospitals. This is the case with our venous samples. Mutual acceptance may not always be present due to potentially reduced reliability with a capillary sample.
How long does it take to receive the results of a Inhalatie allergenen blood test?
Most tests generally take 24-48 hours. Tests that go through an LC-MS method generally take longer, think about an average of 3-7 working days. Additionally, it also depends on the location. Some locations do the analysis themselves and others outsource it to another lab.
How do I interpret the results of a Inhalatie allergenen blood test?
Interpreting the results of Inhalatie allergenen is not always easy and should be seen in the broader picture, along with anamnesis and physical examination. In the doctor's advice section, the query in which you can already outline your complaints is taken into account, otherwise, the results are interpreted in conjunction with the other results. If necessary, the doctor can call to ask about physical abnormalities. You don't have to interpret the results yourself because there is always advice and explanation from the doctor.
What should I do if my results from a Inhalatie allergenen blood test are abnormal?

These do not always give the same results and the accuracy depends on how, where, and with which technique the collection is done. The advantage, of course, is that the test is easier and less painful to take.

Because we use comparable test methods as the general practitioner, the results are interchangeable and comparable so that comparisons can be made well.
