Allergen, Individual-Weed pollen Nettle Urtica dioica W20

The Allergen, Individual-Weed pollen Nettle Urtica dioica W20 test is a lab-grade home allergy assay that measures specific IgE antibodies to Urtica dioica (nettle) pollen to determine sensitization. Using an immunoassay performed in accredited laboratories, it quantifies IgE levels to identify whether nettle pollen is a trigger for allergic rhinitis, conjunctivitis, or pollen-related asthma.

This test is ideal for Dubai and UAE residents experiencing seasonal or outdoor allergy symptoms and for patients whose clinicians need objective evidence before recommending avoidance measures, pharmacotherapy adjustments, or allergen immunotherapy. Samples can be collected at home by trained phlebotomists or at partner labs, and results are reported in clinician-friendly units (kU/L) with interpretation to guide local management and referrals within UAE healthcare networks.
