Allergen, Individual-Animal Chicken Feather EX70

The Allergen, Individual-Animal Chicken Feather EX70 test is a targeted home lab service that detects sensitization to chicken feather proteins by measuring specific IgE antibodies in the blood. A trained phlebotomist collects a small blood sample at your home anywhere in Dubai and across the UAE, which is then analyzed by an accredited laboratory using validated immunoassays to provide a certified result.

This test is important for diagnosing feather-related allergic responses that can cause rhinitis, conjunctivitis, asthma exacerbations, or contact dermatitis. Results help clinicians and patients confirm sensitization to chicken feather allergens, guide avoidance strategies, inform workplace or domestic exposure decisions, and support treatment planning such as targeted allergy management or consideration of immunotherapy; interpretation should be performed by a qualified physician or allergist.
