wo kann man allergietest machen — which blood markers matter?

Allergy testing is typically done by specialists (allergology, dermatology, pulmonology) or in specialized laboratories. The key blood markers are total IgE and, more importantly, specific IgE antibodies to individual allergens (e.g., pollen, dust mites, foods). Elevated total IgE suggests an allergic tendency but is nonspecific. Specific IgE is measured via ImmunoCAP or similar assays and provides concrete evidence of sensitization. Eosinophil counts in a complete blood count may also be elevated. Important: A positive IgE result alone does not prove allergy – clinical correlation (symptoms, provocation testing) is required. Evidence for these markers is strong (guidelines, clinical practice). Caveat: No home test replaces a physician's diagnosis. MyBody-X DNA tests do not provide valid allergy diagnoses.
