&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;&quot;Cat Epithelium, IgE, Serum&quot; refers to a laboratory test that measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood serum that are specific to cat epithelium.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The cat epithelium is the thin, outermost layer of cells covering the surfaces of the body and organs in cats. When individuals are exposed to cat dander (tiny, airborne particles of skin shed by cats), their immune system may produce IgE antibodies in response to this allergen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Measuring IgE antibodies specific to cat epithelium in the blood serum can help diagnose or evaluate allergic reactions in cats. Elevated levels of IgE antibodies indicate sensitization to cat allergens and may suggest an allergic reaction upon exposure to cats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;This test is commonly used by allergists and immunologists to diagnose cat allergies and develop appropriate treatment plans, which may include avoidance strategies, medication, or allergen immunotherapy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;The cost of the test and its availability may vary depending on the healthcare provider and location. It serves as a valuable tool in managing allergies and improving quality of life for individuals sensitive to cat allergens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
