AllergyCheck Plus
Suffering from an Allergy?
According to Allergy UK up to 30% of the population are affected by allergies.
If you suffer from an allergy it’s vital to identify what you are allergic to,
so you can start to deal with the problem. Allergy testing is the quickest route to help you control your allergy and avoid
the allergens that cause your reaction. AllergyCheck from YorkTest Laboratories
is a new test for environmental allergens.
How does the allergy test work?
AllergyCheck is an easy to use, simple finger-prick blood test that can be carried
out in the comfort of your own home, without the need to go to a clinic or visit
a specialist.
When you place an order, a test kit is sent to you in the post, which contains
everything you need to collect your blood sample. Once the sample is collected,
it is posted to our laboratories for analysis. The AllergyCheck test measures
the severity of your allergic reaction to the 12 most common environmental allergens.
The results are given for each allergen, indicating the strength of the allergic
reaction on a scale of 0-2.
We test for :
- House Dustmite
- Birch
- Hazelnut pollen
- Grass pollen mix
- Mugwort
- Stinging nettle
- Aspergillus fumigatus
- Alternaria alternata
- Cladosporium herbarum
- Dog epithelium
- Cat epithelium
- Latex
PLEASE NOTE: The presence of IgE antibodies is an indication that you may be
allergic to that particular substance (allergen) but is not a definite diagnosis
on its own. If you have previously been advised of an allergy but your AllergyCheck
result does not show a positive result, you must continue to avoid that known
allergen. If you are not currently suffering from clinical symptoms, or you have
been avoiding a known allergen this can affect your AllergyCheck results and results
may not show up as positive.
Your results pack is posted to you within 10 days of order and it includes: Your laboratory results are presented as a detailed chart that can be handed to your GP or Healthcare Practitioner. Your unique AllergyCheck score is on a scale of 0 to 2 and will show you how allergic you are to specific allergens.

Keeping your blood sugar even is just about the most critical balancing act of your body. GLCheck helps you to manage your blood sugar balance and rediscover your energy.
GLCheck tests specifically for evidence of abnormally high sugar levels in your blood by testing for glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C).
Much of the food we eat is turned into sugar for our bodies to use as energy.If
the sugar is not used efficiently, or if we eat more carbohydrates than we need,
the excess is easily turned into fat. Haemoglobin (Hb) molecules are a component
of the red blood cells in blood which contain iron and carry oxygen around the
body. Excess sugar molecules can "stick" to the haemoglobin molecules, making
them not work so well. This is called glycosylated haemoglobin (also known as
HbA1C). GLCheck measures your glcosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C). Tests based on
measuring HbA1C are widely used in hospitals as the basis for screening for and
monitoring of diabetes. Careful monitoring using GLCheck allows for early detection
of risk for diabetes, and associated conditions.
How does the test work?
The test is carried out from the comfort of your home and there is no need to
go to a clinic or visit a specialist. When you place an order, a test kit is sent
to you in the post, which contains everything you need to collect a small blood
sample. Once the sample is collected, it should be returned to us the same day
to be analysed at our laboratories.
What does the pack include ?
Your laboratory results- which provide a unique colour codedGLCheck score based
on your HbA1C result. Results guidebook- providing a detailed explination of your
results plus general advice on reducing the key risk affecting diabetic health.
Customer notice

This service is the ideal service for those with a wide and varied normal diet.
The 113 foodSCAN will provide you with all the information you need to start getting the best
out of your health. The list of foods selected for this test covers the most commonly
eaten foods in the UK and Ireland. All we need is a small sample of blood, which
you can collect yourself at home. This is our most popular test as people taking
the 113 foodSCAN have their sample analysed against specific foods and not groups of foods, and
find the results easier to work with and obtain the best health improvements.
You will get a result for every single item on the list. The ‘green’ foods are the ones you can continue to eat normally. They do not
appear to be causing your body to have an adverse reaction.
The middle group, ‘amber’, displays the foods that you have shown a mild reaction
to and should only be eaten once every four or five days.
The ‘red’ list contains all the foods which you react strongly to and try to
eliminate from your diet – the scores are on a scale of +1 to +4 with +4 being
the highest.
The ‘green’ list is usually much bigger than the other lists!
Benefits of using the 113 foodSCAN service:
-
Comprehensive Guidebook, 12-Week Diary and Motivation booklet in a folder to help you achieve the best results
-
Two telephone consultations with our qualified nutritionists,

Elevated levels of homocysteine are recognised as a risk factor for heart disease
and stroke independent of established risk factors such as cholesterol, smoking
and obesity.
Homocysteine has also been linked to Alzheimer's disease, problem pregnancies,
risk of neural tube defects in children from mothers with high levels of homocysteine
and other congenital defects.
YORKTEST have developed a unique kit whereby you can take your own blood sample.
A few drops of blood from a pin-prick are dropped onto a card and the membrane
within the card then separates the plasma from the blood cells. This plasma blood
sample is then sent back to the laboratory and tested using technology designed
specifically for the precise and routine measurement of homocysteine in blood
plasma.
