Allergen - DICLOFENAC by EIA, Serum

Allergen – Diclofenac by EIA, Serum

Test Overview

This test detects specific IgE antibodies against Diclofenac in serum using the Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) method. It helps identify allergic sensitization to Diclofenac, a commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID).

Purpose

• Evaluate suspected Diclofenac allergy
• Investigate drug-induced hypersensitivity reactions
• Support diagnosis of NSAID allergies

Symptoms of Diclofenac Allergy

• Skin rash or itching
• Hives (urticaria)
• Swelling of lips or face
• Wheezing or breathing difficulty
• Drug-induced anaphylaxis (rare)

Sample Required

• Serum

Method

• Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Preparation

• No fasting required
• Inform the physician about current medications and allergy history

Clinical Significance

Detection of Diclofenac-specific IgE may indicate allergic sensitization and assist clinicians in selecting safer alternative medications. Results should always be correlated with clinical history and physician evaluation.
