Discover precise allergy, asthma, and immune system insights with expert blood testing at Modena Allergy & Asthma in Long Beach.
Blood testing provides powerful insight into what's driving your allergy, asthma, or immune-related symptoms. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we use advanced diagnostic bloodwork to uncover hidden triggers—from food and medication sensitivities to underlying immune issues that may be impacting your health.
Our experienced allergists often recommend blood testing as a foundational step, especially when symptoms are complex or not fully explained by other evaluations. These tests help us pinpoint causes and guide personalized treatment strategies backed by the latest medical research.
Whether you're dealing with unexplained reactions, chronic inflammation, or ongoing respiratory issues, blood testing can offer clarity—and a path forward to lasting relief.
Blood testing is a powerful diagnostic tool that reveals critical insights into your immune system, allergy triggers, and overall health. These minimally invasive tests can identify hidden causes of symptoms like chronic inflammation, respiratory issues, or severe allergic reactions.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we offer a wide range of specialized blood tests to detect the following:
Blood tests like ELISA and RAST help detect allergen-specific IgE antibodies linked to environmental triggers such as pollen, mold, pet dander, and dust mites. These insights allow us to pinpoint what’s causing your symptoms and create a personalized allergy management plan.
Food allergy blood testing measures IgE antibodies to determine reactions to common foods like peanuts, dairy, eggs, and shellfish. This test helps identify the source of allergic reactions and guides avoidance strategies or possible immunotherapy treatments.
While blood tests can sometimes detect drug allergies, their accuracy varies. Our specialists may recommend complementary tests like skin or patch testing for a clearer diagnosis and safer treatment options.
We assess systemic inflammation using a Complete Blood Count (CBC), ESR, CRP, and other markers. These tests help identify underlying inflammatory conditions that could contribute to chronic symptoms or immune dysregulation.
To evaluate immune function, we use advanced blood panels such as immunoglobulin profiling, autoantibody screens, and lymphocyte function tests. These tools are vital for diagnosing immune deficiencies and autoimmune disorders—especially when symptoms are complex or persistent.
For patients with unexplained or recurring anaphylactic symptoms, we test for elevated tryptase levels and specific mast cell mutations. These markers help diagnose MCAS, a rare but serious condition that requires expert management.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a complex condition characterized by recurrent and severe anaphylactic episodes caused by the excessive release of mast cell mediators in the body.
The blood tests that measure eosinophil levels and IgE antibodies can offer helpful insight into the immune activity behind eczema. While not a standalone diagnostic tool, these results help our providers better understand the underlying causes and build a more personalized, targeted treatment plan for long-term relief.
Your visit starts with a one-on-one consultation with a Modena allergist. We’ll review your symptoms, medical history, and any potential allergy or immune concerns. Based on this evaluation, we’ll recommend the appropriate blood tests to gather deeper insight.
The blood draw is quick and straightforward, typically taking just a few minutes. Your sample is then sent to a trusted lab, where it’s evaluated for markers like IgE antibodies, eosinophil counts, and other signs of immune activity or inflammation. Results are usually available within one to two weeks. Once we have them, our team will create a personalized treatment plan built around your unique needs.
Blood testing offers powerful insight into the root causes of your symptoms. It helps identify specific allergens, asthma triggers, and signs of immune system imbalance—all of which are key to creating the right treatment plan for you.
Depending on your unique symptoms, your provider may also recommend additional tests like skin or patch testing to build a complete picture of what's affecting your health.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we use blood test results to guide targeted treatments such as immunotherapy, desensitization, or advanced therapies. You'll receive a personalized plan and expert support every step of the way—so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.
