In addition to general chronic diseases, our medical practice also offers professional allergy diagnosis and treatment.Allergies are a series of hypersensitive reactions triggered by the body’s exposure to environmental allergens, such as allergic rhinitis, food allergies, urticaria, eczema/atopic dermatitis, and asthma. Severe allergic reactions can lead to angioedema and even anaphylactic shock, which can be life-threatening.
Type I hypersensitivity reactions are the most common among the four types. Examples include allergic rhinitis, urticaria, atopic dermatitis (eczema), asthma, and conjunctivitis. The second most common is Type IV hypersensitivity, with examples including contact dermatitis.
To diagnose Type I hypersensitivity, in addition to a clinical allergy history, the following two primary diagnostic methods can be used:
- Skin Prick Test
- IgE Blood Test
Currently, blood tests can assist doctors in accurately diagnosing nearly three hundred types of food and environmental allergens that cause Type I hypersensitivity reactions. If a person is confirmed to be sensitive to a specific allergen, such as food or medication, they should avoid that allergen.Certain allergens, such as the most common dust mites and pet dander, can lead to tolerance through immunotherapy, gradually alleviating allergic symptoms. This type of immunotherapy can lead to significant and long-lasting improvements in long-term symptoms like allergic rhinitis, asthma, eczema, and urticaria.
Our aim is to provide citizens with general consultation services, vaccination services, allergy testing, personalized health check plans, and various integrated medical services. We not only address common illnesses and emergencies but also emphasize long-term health management, including common diseases and chronic conditions that require long-term management, such as hypertension and diabetes, developing personalized health plans and services for patients.
In line with the government’s “Chronic Disease Shared Care Pilot Program,” our primary goal is to control the risk factors of chronic diseases, prevent chronic diseases early, and reduce the occurrence of related complications. Our clinic is equipped with a professional team and facilities to conduct consultations, clinical examinations, and blood test index tracking.
