ALLERGEN - CAT DANDER EPITHELIUM, SERUM Test in Vadodara Overview
No special preparations needed
- Cat Dander/epithelium: Allergen Specific Ige
- Cat Dander/epithelium: Allergy Scoring
Cat dander allergy is triggered by Fel d 1, a protein found in cat saliva, skin, and urine. When shed into the air, it can cause sneezing, itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and asthma flare-ups in sensitive individuals.
While no cat is completely hypoallergenic, breeds like Siberians, Balinese, and Devon Rex produce lower levels of Fel d 1 protein, making them more tolerable for some allergy sufferers.
Regular grooming, using HEPA filters, keeping cats out of bedrooms, and vacuuming frequently can help reduce allergens in your home. Medications like antihistamines and nasal sprays can also alleviate symptoms.
