Allergen Profile, Food, IgE With Component Reflexes
CPT:
86003(x16); 86008
Test Includes
This profile includes the nine major allergen groups associated with food allergy1-4 and their reflexes to components: almond; Brazil nut; cashew nut; codfish; egg white; hazelnut (filbert); milk; peanut (whole); salmon; scallop; sesame seed; shrimp; soybean; tuna; walnut; wheat and w5-gliadin (tri-19).
• If milk IgE ≥ 0.35 kU/L, reflex tests α-lactalbumin, β-lactoglobulin and casein will be added.
• If egg white IgE ≥ 0.35 kU/L, reflex tests ovalbumin and ovomucoid will be added.
• If sesame IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, reflex test Ses I 1 will be added.
• If walnut IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, reflex tests Jug r 1 and Jug r 3 will be added.
• If hazelnut (filbert) IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, reflex tests Cor a 1, Cor a 8, Cor a 9 and Cor a 14 will be added.
• If cashew nut IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, reflex test Ana o 3 will be added.
• If Brazil nut IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, reflex test Ber e 1 will be added.
• If peanut (whole) IgE ≥0.10 kU/L, reflex tests Ara h 1, Ara h 2, Ara h 3, Ara h 6, Ara h 8 and Ara h 9 will be added.
• If wheat IgE ≥ 0.10 kU/L, one or more of the following components may be tested: Gliadin, Tri a 14 (wheat nsLTP), Phl p 12 (Timothy grass profilin) and/or Cross-reactive Carbohydrate Determinant (CCD).
Expected Turnaround Time
4 - 6 days
Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.
