Guinea Pig Epithelium

This test measures the level of specific antibodies in your blood that react to guinea pig skin cells, also known as epithelium. It helps determine if symptoms like sneezing, itchy eyes, or trouble breathing are caused by an allergic reaction to these animals. By identifying this specific sensitivity, the test helps rule out other potential causes for your respiratory or skin symptoms. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not confirm a clinical diagnosis without a doctor reviewing your medical history and symptoms.
