Allergen, Individual-Tree pollen Japanese Cedar Cryptomeria japonica T17

The Allergen, Individual-Tree Pollen Japanese Cedar Cryptomeria Japonica T17 is an at-home allergy test that detects specific IgE antibodies to Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollen to determine sensitization. The test uses a validated laboratory immunoassay on a capillary or venous blood sample collected via an at-home kit and processed in an accredited UAE laboratory, providing objective evidence of allergy triggers. Identifying sensitization to Japanese cedar is important for diagnosing seasonal allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis and pollen-triggered asthma, and for guiding targeted management.

This test is recommended for individuals who experience seasonal nasal or eye symptoms, unexplained asthma worsening during pollen seasons, people planning allergen immunotherapy, or those with travel or exposure history to regions with cedar pollen. Results support personalised avoidance strategies, medication plans and immunotherapy decisions; results are delivered with laboratory interpretation and should be reviewed with your physician or a local allergy specialist in Dubai or elsewhere in the UAE.
