Allergen, Individual-Food Pork Pig meat F26

The Allergen, Individual‑Food Pork (Pig meat) F26 test is a targeted blood assay that measures specific IgE antibodies against the pork (pig meat) allergen designated F26. A small blood sample collected at home by a trained phlebotomist (or via an approved capillary collection kit) is analysed in a certified laboratory using standardized immunoassay methods to quantify sensitization to pork protein components.

This test is useful for people who experience immediate symptoms after eating pork—such as hives, swelling, wheeze, vomiting or fainting—as well as for those with unexplained recurrent allergic-type reactions after meals. Results report the specific IgE concentration (with categorical interpretation such as negative/low/moderate/high) and should be correlated with clinical history; a positive sensitization does not always equal clinical allergy, so follow-up with an allergist in Dubai/UAE is recommended for diagnosis confirmation and management planning.

• Specific IgE — Pork (Pig meat) (F26)
• Result units (kU/L)
• Qualitative clinical interpretation (Negative/Low/Moderate/High)

• Immediate allergic symptoms after eating pork (hives, swelling, breathing difficulty)
• Recurrent unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms following pork consumption
• After a suspected food‑triggered anaphylactic episode involving meat
• Before supervised dietary reintroduction or oral food challenge
• When evaluating possible cross‑reactivity with other mammalian meats

• Convenient at‑home sample collection across Dubai and the UAE
• Laboratory‑grade immunoassay for reliable specific IgE quantification
• Clear, actionable results to guide dietary management and referral
• Reduces need for initial hospital visits for diagnostic screening

• At‑home blood sample collection by a trained phlebotomist or approved capillary kit
• No fasting required prior to sample collection
• Inform the collecting team if you are undergoing allergen immunotherapy or receiving biologic treatments
• Ensure recent severe reactions are managed first; seek emergency care if symptoms are ongoing
