Year-Round Allergies Test in Arizona

Year-Round Allergies Test is a laboratory test you can order directly. A year-round allergies test is a blood test that looks for antibodies your immune system makes against common indoor and year-round allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, mold, and cockroach.

A year-round allergies test is a blood test that looks for antibodies your immune system makes against common indoor and year-round allergens, such as dust mites, pet dander, mold, and cockroach. It is often ordered when symptoms like sneezing, a runny or stuffy nose, or itchy eyes last for weeks or months rather than a short seasonal stretch.

What it measures

  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in your blood.
  • Specific IgE to dust mites — Antibody that reacts to a common indoor allergen.
  • Specific IgE to pet dander — Antibody that reacts to cat or dog proteins.
  • Specific IgE to mold spores — Antibody that reacts to indoor or outdoor molds.
  • Specific IgE to cockroach — Antibody that reacts to a common urban allergen.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician or allergist typically orders this test for people with ongoing nasal, eye, or breathing symptoms that may be triggered indoors or year-round. It can also help clarify triggers when symptom patterns are unclear.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell the lab about any allergy or asthma medicines you take, since some can affect results, and follow your clinician's instructions about timing.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as levels of total and specific IgE, often with a reference range or class for each allergen. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

Does this test hurt?

It uses a standard blood draw from a vein in your arm, which feels like a brief pinch.

How soon will I get results?

Most results are ready in 1 to 3 business days, though your lab may take longer.

Do I need to stop my allergy medicine?

Ask your clinician. Some medicines can affect results, so do not change anything on your own.

Can this test tell me what I am allergic to?

It shows which allergens your blood reacts to, but your clinician must combine that with your symptoms to confirm a trigger.
