House Dust
What is it?
Specialized tests for detecting allergic reactions to house dust (Allergens RAST H / HP) with quantitative measurement of IgE antibodies against the allergen.
Where Used
Quantitative measurement of antibodies characterizes the intensity of the allergic reaction to the allergen, from “negative” to “extremely intense.”
Uses:
- Accurate diagnosis of the specific allergen the body is sensitive to.
- Monitoring the intensity of the allergic reaction over time.
Selection can be made in combination with multiple allergens of this category as well as other categories. Specific Rast Tests in this Category Include:
h1 | GREER LABS |
h2 | HOLLISTER-STIER LABS |
h3 | BENCARD |
h6 | JAPANT |
For economic reasons, combined tests for simultaneous detection of multiple allergens can be selected. In the case of a positive result in combined tests, there is no differentiation as to which specific allergen the sensitivity has been detected.

HP1 |
Combination h1 d1 d2 i6 HOUSE DUST, MITES, COCKROACH |

The RAST H/HP test process involves analyzing the patient’s blood for the presence of antibodies produced in response to specific substances. A blood sample is taken and sent to specialized laboratories for antibody detection analysis The antibody reactions to allergens are evaluated and reported to the patient and their doctor.
The analysis of the RAST H/HP test provides important information about the body’s allergic reactions to specific substances. This enables doctors to predict potential reactions to future exposures to these substances and take appropriate preventive measures. Knowledge of allergic reactions to specific substances is vital for preventing severe health impacts on the patient.
Managing the results of the RAST H/HP test is crucial for the patient’s safety. In case of positive results, the doctor should inform the patient about their allergic reactions and guide them to further tests or treatments. It is also essential to record the allergic reactions in the patient’s medical history to prevent future episodes.
In summary, the RAST H/HP test for allergens is a critical tool for managing allergies in the healthcare field. By detecting and assessing allergic reactions to substances, it allows doctors to provide safe and effective treatments to their patients.
