ALLERGY TESTING / IMMUNOLOGY
FROM GENOVA DIAGNOSTICS LAB

In conjunction with bringing the latest DPC Immulite antibody assay technology to Genova Diagnostics Lab we have introduced an expanded offering of allergy / immunology tests that include a Mold Profile and a Celiac Profile.

The newest allergy profile available measures quantifiable IgE antibodies for Molds. As the modern world continues to evolve, it is becoming increasingly apparent that our indoor environment can have a huge impact on our health.

Molds (also know as fungi) are ubiquitous in the environment and can concentrate in homes, offices and public buildings. It is estimated that the annual work impairment costs associated with pollen / mold exposure are between $5.4 - 7.7 billion dollars in the US alone!

ALLERGY ANTIBODY ASSESSMENTS

CELIAC PROFILE

Clinical studies indicate the Anti-Tissue Transglutaminase IgA/IgG and Endomysial IgA antibodies as highly prevalent and reliable for non-invasive assessment of Celiac Disease. Our profile includes Total IgA to rule out false negatives in IgA immunodeficient individuals, and the Endomysial IgA as a reflex when indicated.

Anti-GLiadin IgA and IgG is available to establish levels and use as a monitoring tool for successful elimination of gluten. Read more ...
