Indoor Respiratory Allergy Panel

If you experience year-round sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, coughing, or other allergy symptoms, the cause may be inside your home or workplace. The ICare Indoor Respiratory Allergy Panel is designed to identify allergic sensitivities to the most common indoor environmental allergens, helping you understand what's triggering your symptoms and empowering you to take control of your respiratory health.

Unlike seasonal allergies, indoor allergies can occur throughout the year because exposure to allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, mold, and cockroaches is often continuous. Identifying these triggers allows you and your healthcare provider to develop a personalized plan to reduce exposure and manage symptoms more effectively.

With ICare's concierge mobile laboratory services, advanced allergy testing is delivered directly to your home, office, or preferred location, making it easier than ever to prioritize your health.

What Does This Test Measure?

The Indoor Respiratory Allergy Panel measures allergen-specific Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which indicate whether your immune system is sensitized to common indoor allergens.

Depending on the panel selected, testing may include:

Dust Mites

Dust mites are among the most common causes of year-round allergies and are frequently found in:

Mattresses
Pillows
Bedding
Upholstered furniture
Carpeting
Pet Dander

Measures allergic sensitivity to proteins found in:

Cats
Dogs
Other household pets, depending on the panel

Even individuals without pets may be exposed to pet allergens in schools, workplaces, or public spaces.

Mold

Evaluates sensitivity to common indoor molds that may grow in:

Bathrooms
Basements
Kitchens
HVAC systems
Damp or water-damaged areas

Exposure may contribute to chronic allergy symptoms and respiratory irritation.

Cockroach Allergens

Cockroach allergens are a common indoor trigger, particularly in apartments, older homes, and urban environments, and may contribute to allergy symptoms and asthma.

Total IgE (When Included)

Some panels also measure Total Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE), providing an overall assessment of allergic activity that may help your healthcare provider interpret your results.

The Indoor Respiratory Allergy Panel may be beneficial for individuals who experience:

Year-round nasal congestion
Frequent sneezing
Runny nose
Itchy or watery eyes
Chronic coughing
Wheezing
Asthma symptoms
