Information about Allergy test cat
Do you suspect a cat allergy?
Cat allergy is one of the most common fur animal allergies. Symptoms such as itchy eyes, runny nose, swollen or irritated throat are common and can already appear in toddlers but can also occur later in life. Cat allergy does not usually have to be associated with the cat's fur, there are also other allergens that come from the cat's saliva, sebaceous glands and dander that accumulate in the fur and cause an allergic reaction.

What are IgE antibodies?
IgE antibodies are a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to exposure to an allergen, such as cat dander. If you are allergic to cat dander, the immune system will produce a higher concentration of IgE antibodies against the allergen. Analysis of the number of IgE antibodies is carried out in order to determine whether you are allergic or not.
