Allergen, Individual-Food Green Pea F12

The Allergen, Individual-Food Green Pea F12 test is a home-based diagnostic assay that detects specific IgE antibodies to green pea (Pisum sativum) proteins, indicating sensitization to this food allergen. A trained phlebotomist collects a small venous blood sample at your home anywhere in Dubai and across the UAE; the sample is processed at an accredited laboratory to produce a quantitative result that helps clinicians evaluate IgE‑mediated allergy.

This test is recommended for individuals who experience immediate allergic symptoms after consuming green peas or related legumes, those with atopic dermatitis or unexplained hives, and patients being assessed before supervised food challenges. The convenience of at-home collection and timely lab reporting supports faster diagnosis and personalised dietary and treatment plans; results should always be interpreted together with clinical history by an allergist or treating physician.

No fasting is required before sample collection, and antihistamines do not affect specific IgE measurement—however, inform your clinician about recent immunotherapy or biological treatments that may influence interpretation. A positive specific IgE result indicates sensitization but does not alone confirm clinical allergy; an oral food challenge under medical supervision remains the gold standard when needed.
