Targeted Testing for Real Answers

What blood tests are available?

Blood testing is a key diagnostic tool that offers insight into allergies, immune disorders, and chronic inflammation.

At Modena Allergy & Asthma in Torrance, we use advanced blood panels to uncover the hidden causes of symptoms like fatigue, respiratory issues, skin flare-ups, and unexplained allergic reactions. Here's what we test for:

Environmental Allergy Testing

Using ELISA or RAST, we measure allergen-specific IgE antibodies to identify sensitivities to pollen, mold, dust mites, and pet dander. These results help us personalize your allergy care plan.

Food Allergy Testing

This test detects IgE antibodies to common foods like peanuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, and shellfish. It’s helpful for diagnosing food allergies, guiding avoidance strategies, and determining eligibility for immunotherapy.

Drug Allergy Testing

Although blood tests can detect certain drug allergies, accuracy may vary. We often combine bloodwork with skin or patch testing to ensure safe and precise diagnosis.

Inflammatory Disease Testing

We use markers like CBC, ESR, and CRP to evaluate systemic inflammation, which may point to chronic illness, asthma, or autoimmune conditions.

Immune Disorder Testing

Our blood panels include immunoglobulin levels, autoantibody testing, and lymphocyte function analysis to evaluate immune system strength and detect primary or secondary immune deficiencies.

MCAS Testing

For patients with unexplained allergic reactions or anaphylaxis, we measure tryptase levels and screen for mast cell mutations to confirm or rule out MCAS, (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)—a rare but serious allergic condition.

Eczema and Atopic Disease Testing

Elevated eosinophil counts and IgE levels can provide insight into allergic eczema and help tailor long-term treatment strategies.
