Description:
This panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to 10 common environmental allergens in the northeast region of the United States. Allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing and may be preferred in some clinical situations. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is sensitized to the allergen of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when exposed to the allergen. A diagnosis of allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [1].More specific information about allergens included in this panel may be found on the Quest Diagnostics Test Directory.Reference1.

Description:
This in vitro allergen-specific IgE panel is used to quantitatively measure an individual's IgE response to 5 different cereals that are commonly associated with allergies. These cereals include barley, buckwheat, gluten, rice, and rye. This IgE panel is intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical information to aid in the diagnosis of food allergies [1].While allergen-specific serum IgE testing is considered comparable to skin testing in many instances, both the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology and the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology recognize that allergen-specific serum IgE testing may be preferred in some clinical situations. These include (1) the presence of widespread skin disease, (2) the recent use of antihistamines or other medications that can affect the results of allergy skin tests, (3) uncooperative patients, and (4) medical history suggesting that allergen skin testing would pose a significant risk for a serious allergic reaction [1].Food-specific IgE tests are extremely sensitive. However, a positive test result only indicates that a patient is IgE-sensitized to the food of concern. Many IgE-sensitized individuals do not develop any symptoms when the food is ingested. A diagnosis of food allergy should only be made by a trained medical provider after conducting a thorough clinical evaluation [2,3]. While food-specific IgE test results may contribute to that evaluation, they cannot replace it. Moreover, several forms of food hypersensitivity are not associated with the presence of food-specific IgE in serum.The results of this panel should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings. More specific information about each allergen included in this panel may be found on the Quest Diagnostics Test Directory.References1. Bernstein IL, et al.

Description:
More than 40 phenotypes of AAT exist. The inherited deficiency, seen most often as the ZZ, SS and SZ phenotypes, is associated with neonatal hepatitis and infantile cirrhosis. In adults, these phenotypes are associated with chronic lung disease, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin, Feces, 24-Hour
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]

$162

Description:
This test measures alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) concentration in a 24-hour stool specimen. The result of this test, preferably interpreted jointly with the result of a simultaneous plasma AAT level, may aid in the diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy [1].Protein-losing enteropathy is a disorder caused by inflammation or destruction of intestinal mucosa and subsequent increased loss of plasma protein through the gastrointestinal tract. Conditions associated with protein-losing enteropathy include but are not limited to inflammatory bowel disease, lymphoma, Whipple disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and food allergies [2]. Measurement of radioactive albumin is the "gold standard" for gastrointestinal protein loss but is rarely performed because of the high cost and complex methodology [3]. AAT has a molecular weight similar to that of albumin and is resistant to proteolysis. Therefore, the excretion of AAT in stool can be used to estimate protein loss in the gastrointestinal tract [1,2].Low stool AAT levels may also be caused by AAT deficiency or impaired hepatic synthesis of AAT; thus, they must be interpreted in conjunction with plasma AAT levels [2]. Abnormal results in patients with intestinal blood loss need to be interpreted carefully owing to the possibly increased AAT clearance [3]. AAT clearance, calculated from AAT concentrations in a 24-hour fecal specimen and a serum specimen, is more reliable for estimating protein loss [4].The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings.References1.

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin, Quantitative
*Build Your Own Panel Eligible [?]
|
$116
|
|
|
Description:
Alpha-1-Antitrypsin level may be increased in normal pregnancy and in several diseases including chronic pulmonary disease; hereditary angioedema; renal, gastric, liver and pancreatic diseases; diabetes; carcinomas and rheumatoid diseases. Alpha-1-Antitrypsin may be decreased in emphysema, hepatic cirrhosis, respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn, nephrosis, malnutrition and cachexia. If a deficiency is present, aat phenotyping may be considered to confirm heterozygous versus homozygous deficiencies.

Alpha-1-Antitrypsin, Random Feces

Description:
This test measures alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) concentration in a random stool specimen and may help screen for protein-losing enteropathy [1]. An AAT level measured in a 24-hour stool specimen and interpreted jointly with a simultaneous blood AAT level is generally preferred for the diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy [2].Protein-losing enteropathy is a disorder caused by inflammation or destruction of intestinal mucosa and subsequent increased loss of plasma protein through the gastrointestinal tract. Conditions associated with protein-losing enteropathy include but are not limited to inflammatory bowel disease, lymphoma, Whipple disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, and food allergies [3]. Measurement of radioactive albumin is the "gold standard" for gastrointestinal protein loss but is rarely performed because of the high cost and complex methodology [4]. AAT has a molecular weight similar to that of albumin and is resistant to proteolysis. Therefore, the excretion of AAT in stool can be used to estimate protein loss in the gastrointestinal tract [2,3].Low stool AAT levels may also be caused by AAT deficiency or impaired hepatic synthesis of AAT; thus, they must be interpreted in conjunction with plasma AAT levels [3]. Abnormal results in patients with intestinal blood loss need to be interpreted carefully owing to the possibly increased AAT clearance [4].An AAT level measured in a random stool specimen may not accurately reflect daily AAT excretion [2]. AAT clearance, calculated from AAT concentrations in a 24-hour fecal specimen and a serum specimen, is more reliable for estimating protein loss [5].The results of this test should be interpreted in the context of pertinent clinical and family history and physical examination findings.References1.
