Types of Tests

Food-Induced Tests

This is a test method that involves observation in a hospital and the administration of food according to a structured program. It is mainly performed to confirm the food that is ambiguous in the basic allergy test, or to confirm that the food that has been identified as the cause can be fed after sufficient avoidance therapy and the test results show improvement.

Pulmonary function tests and bronchodilator tests

Evaluate lung function and the degree of bronchial obstruction and bronchial response to bronchodilators

Asthma provocation tests (methacholine, mannitol)

A test that can show bronchial hyperresponsiveness even if you don't have symptoms, and can objectively determine the severity of your asthma.

Induced Sputum (Sputum) Test

Sputum is collected and analyzed after inhalation of hypertonic saline solution with a high-powered dedicated nebulizer to assess the degree of bronchial inflammation.

Nasal Fluid (Runny Nose) Smear Test

A test that analyzes inflammatory cells in runny nose for signs of rhinitis.

Allergy Blood and Skin Reaction Test

Check for various allergens such as mites, pollen, and food, and treat the cause such as environmental management or dietary management depending on the results.

Inhaler treatments and medications

This is the most basic treatment and is used to systematically control and manage your allergies based on your test results.

Immunotherapy (injections, sublingual)

Treats allergic diseases at the root by improving the body's immune system, and the effects last long after treatment is complete.
