Allergen, Individual-Weed pollen Common Pigweed Kaantewali Chauli ( Amaranthus Retroflexus) W14

This lab-at-home test detects sensitization to Common Pigweed (Kaantewali Chauli, Amaranthus retroflexus) pollen by measuring allergen-specific IgE antibodies, helping determine whether symptoms are linked to this particular weed pollen. The sample is collected at home (capillary or venous) and analysed in an accredited laboratory using validated immunoassays to provide a quantitative result and sensitization class. Identifying specific sensitisation supports targeted management—avoidance strategies, pharmaceutical control, and consideration of immunotherapy—especially important for residents of Dubai and the UAE where seasonal weed pollen can trigger rhinitis and asthma. Always review results with a qualified clinician to correlate laboratory findings with clinical history and symptoms.
