Allergy Profile VIII (Inhalation) – Allergy Screening Blood Test in London

The Allergy Profile VIII (Inhalation) is a specialised blood test designed to identify allergic sensitivities to common airborne allergens that may trigger respiratory symptoms and allergic reactions. This profile helps assess immune responses to inhaled allergens such as pollen, dust mites, moulds, and other environmental triggers associated with asthma, hay fever, sneezing, wheezing, coughing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. Ideal for individuals experiencing suspected environmental allergies or respiratory symptoms, this test supports accurate diagnosis and targeted allergy management. Available at Medical Diagnosis Victoria (MDX Victoria) in London, with results typically available within 5 days.

Why Consider The Allergy Profile VIII?

Respiratory Focus

This inhalation profile targets the specific airborne allergens that drive respiratory distress:

  • Chronic or recurring hay fever symptoms
  • Suspected seasonal asthma triggers
  • Difficulty breathing in specific environments
  • Identifying indoor pet or mould sensitivities

Pollens & Environments

Naturally occurring outdoor and indoor particulates are frequent offenders for airway sensitivity:

  • Pollen Seasonality: Birch, Hazel, Oak, and various grasses
  • Indoor Micro-organisms: House dust mites and common moulds
  • Animal Epithelium: Pet dander from diverse domestic animals
  • Atmospheric Factors: Interaction with existing pollution

Why Testing Is Helpful

Mapping your inhalation triggers provides several benefits:

  • Pinpoint exact environmental sensitivities
  • Reduce reliance on non-specific medications
  • Support GP-led asthma or rhinitis plans
  • Proactive management for peak pollen seasons

How To Read Your Laboratory Results

Your report will show your IgE antibody levels for each allergen, helping identify whether a result is negative, low, moderate, or high. Higher IgE levels may suggest sensitisation to a particular substance. However, a positive result does not always mean you will experience clinical symptoms, which is why your medical history and professional interpretation remain key. Results should be considered alongside your symptoms and exposure patterns.

Results Timeline: Metrics are typically available within 5 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to stop antihistamines before the Allergy Profile VIII?
Because the Allergy Profile VIII is a blood-based allergy test, antihistamines usually do not affect the results. However, always follow any instructions provided before your appointment.
Can this profile diagnose all allergies?
No single test can diagnose every allergy. Allergy Profile VIII results should always be interpreted alongside symptoms and medical history.
Is the test suitable for children?
Suitability for children may depend on age and clinical circumstances. Please contact the clinic before booking if testing is required for a child.
Will this test tell me if I have an intolerance?
No. The Allergy Profile VIII is designed to assess allergy-related IgE responses, not food intolerances.

Most Searched Online Questions About Allergies

What is the difference between an allergy and an intolerance?
An allergy involves the immune system and may cause immediate reactions. An intolerance usually affects digestion and does not involve IgE antibodies.
Can allergies develop later in life?
Yes. Allergies can develop during childhood or adulthood, even to substances previously tolerated.
Why are my allergy symptoms worse at night?
Dust mites, bedding exposure, and indoor allergens may contribute to worsening symptoms overnight.
