About Egg Yolk Allergy Test | Food Allergy in Aurora
Egg yolk allergy testing examines the immune system's response to yolk proteins through a blood sample.
The test detects IgE antibodies that bind to specific proteins in egg yolk. When these antibodies are present at elevated levels, they indicate that the immune system has been sensitized to yolk components.
Egg yolk contains distinct proteins, including livetins and phosvitin, which differ from the proteins found in egg white. Because of this difference, a person may react to one part of the egg and not the other, making component-specific testing clinically useful.
Results are reported as quantitative values that a healthcare provider interprets alongside symptoms and medical history. A positive result suggests sensitization, but it does not by itself confirm that eating egg yolk will cause a reaction.
