American House Dust Mite (D.farinae)
IgE antibodies to the American house dust mite.
Why it matters
A second common dust mite species; testing both gives a fuller picture.
Price is for one test. No subscription.
The Chxhealth Allergy Complete Panel is our broadest blood test for suspected immediate (Type I) allergy. It measures IgE antibodies to 63 allergens across foods, tree, grass and weed pollens, pets and other animals, house dust mites, moulds and yeasts, plus your Total IgE.
It brings together everything on the food, pollen, pet and mould panels and both house dust mites. It suits people with complex or wide-ranging symptoms, possible multiple sensitisations, or where earlier testing has not found the trigger. Randox notes that even this panel cannot rule out every IgE allergy.
Your sample is a venous blood draw (4 serum tubes) at our Lanchester clinic in County Durham or one of 50+ UK partner clinics, analysed by Randox Laboratories, accredited by UKAS to ISO 15189. Results take up to 5 working days. Your report shows sensitisation for a clinician to read alongside your symptoms; Chxhealth does not diagnose, treat or prescribe.
Sample requirements
Collected at either our Chxhealth clinic in Lanchester (book your appointment during checkout) or at one of our 50+ UK partnered clinics (you'll receive a separate booking email after checkout). Phlebotomy fee included in the price.

The total amount of IgE antibody in your blood.
Gives context for the allergen-specific results; raised levels are common in atopy.
A high total IgE often goes with positive results to several allergens. It is common in people with eczema, asthma or hay fever and can also be raised for other reasons. Some of those positives may be low-level or linked to related proteins rather than separate allergies. A clinician will focus on the results that match your symptoms.
More about Total IgE
No. The wheat marker measures IgE to wheat proteins, which is relevant to wheat allergy, an immediate immune reaction. Coeliac disease is a different, non-IgE condition involving gluten and the gut lining, and this test does not detect it. If coeliac disease is a concern, speak to your GP before removing gluten from your diet.

Celery is one of the 14 major allergens that UK food labels must declare, and it hides in soups, stocks, salads and spice mixes. Celery sensitisation can be linked with birch and mugwort pollen. This marker measures IgE to celery proteins, which a clinician reads alongside your other pollen and food results.
More about Celery
This is often pollen food syndrome. Proteins in raw apple look similar to birch pollen proteins, so people sensitised to birch can get itching or tingling in the mouth and throat soon after eating raw apple. Cooking usually breaks these proteins down. Seeing apple and birch results together can help a clinician recognise the pattern.

Tree nut allergies do not always come together. Someone can react to walnut but not almond or hazelnut, or the other way round. The panel tests walnut, hazelnut and almond separately so a clinician can see which you are sensitised to. Coconut is tested too, though it isn't usually counted as a tree nut. Walnut is one of the tree nuts most often linked with allergy.
More about Walnut
Early-year symptoms often point to tree pollens. Alder and hazel can release pollen from late winter, often well before birch. Grey alder is related to birch, so the two are frequently linked. This marker measures IgE to grey alder pollen. Comparing it with your other tree results helps explain when your symptoms start.
More about Grey Alder
Grass pollen is the most common hay fever trigger in the UK. Perennial rye grass is one of the most widespread grasses in lawns, pasture and sports pitches. The Complete Panel tests five grasses, including Timothy, June grass, meadow fescue and orchard grass. Many grass pollens share proteins, so results are often positive together.
More about Perennial Rye Grass
No. Rye flour comes from the cereal grain rye, eaten in bread and crispbreads and inhaled as flour dust in bakeries. Perennial rye grass is a lawn and pasture grass whose pollen causes hay fever. Cereal and grass pollen proteins can be related, so the two can both be positive, but they are tested separately.
More about Rye Flour
Beech is a common UK tree that releases pollen in spring. It belongs to the same broad family as birch, oak, alder and hazel, and their pollens share some proteins. This marker measures IgE to beech pollen. A clinician can look at it with your other tree results to see which trees may be linked with your symptoms.
More about Beech
Mould spores are a common, often overlooked, cause of nasal and chest symptoms, especially in summer and autumn or in damp homes. The panel includes seven moulds and yeasts. Alternaria is an outdoor mould whose spores peak on warm, dry, windy days, and sensitisation to it has been linked with asthma.

It isn’t required, but for tests that include glucose, lipids (cholesterol) or insulin, fasting is recommended for the best results. If you fast, drink water only. If you have diabetes or another medical condition, check with your GP before fasting. If you’d rather not fast, that’s fine: just let us know at your appointment.
Yes, keep taking your medication as normal. Some medicines can affect particular markers; for example, blood thinners such as aspirin or warfarin can affect clotting tests. If you are unsure, contact us before booking.

It measures IgE to 63 allergens: 31 foods, 15 tree, grass and weed pollens, 10 animal allergens including both house dust mites, and 7 moulds and yeasts. Total IgE is also measured. It combines the full Food, Pollen and Grass, Pet and Animal Dander and Mould and Fungal panels with both house dust mites in one blood test.
It is the largest. The First-Line Panel tests 8 allergens, covering roughly 80% of common sensitisations in primary care, and the Enhanced Panel 17, covering up to about 90%. The Complete Panel tests 63, but Randox notes that no panel can rule out every IgE allergy. The focused panels suit people with one clear area of concern.
No. Antihistamines affect skin-prick testing because they dampen the skin's reaction, but they do not interfere with an IgE blood test in the same way. That is one reason a blood test can suit people who cannot easily stop their antihistamines. Keep taking any medicine you have been prescribed unless the clinician who prescribed it tells you otherwise.
Neither is better in every case. A skin-prick test is done in clinic and read within minutes. A blood test measures IgE in a serum sample instead, so it can suit people who cannot stop antihistamines, have widespread eczema or are at higher risk of a severe reaction to testing. Both show sensitisation and both need reading alongside your symptoms. Testing many allergens at once by skin prick is impractical, which a blood panel avoids.
A positive result means your immune system has made IgE antibodies to that allergen. This is called sensitisation, and it is not the same as a confirmed allergy: with 63 allergens, it is common to see some positive results that cause no symptoms, especially between related pollens and plant foods. A negative result makes an IgE allergy less likely but does not completely rule one out. A clinician should interpret your results alongside your symptoms and history.
They measure different antibodies. The Complete Panel looks for IgE, the antibody behind immediate allergic reactions, to 31 foods, along with pollens, animals and moulds. Food Sensitivity measures IgG to 207 foods. IgG is not IgE, and Food Sensitivity does not test for immediate allergy, so it cannot tell you whether you are allergic to a food. If you suspect a food allergy, an IgE test is the relevant one.
Results take up to 5 working days. Your sample is a venous blood draw (4 serum tubes), taken at the Chxhealth clinic in Lanchester, County Durham, or at one of our 50+ UK partner clinics. There is no at-home kit for this test. Your report shows your IgE result for each allergen on the panel and your Total IgE.
Share your report with your GP or another clinician, who can read it alongside your symptoms. They may suggest further assessment or a referral to an NHS allergy clinic. Chxhealth does not diagnose, treat or prescribe. Please do not cut foods out of your diet or make big changes at home based on a result alone, without clinical advice.
