Dr. Al Hegab answered

Specializes in Allergy and Immunology

Allergy reaction: to what? is it to a food, medicine, or something else? , the lab tests that you had doesn't look for allergies, it looks for an autoimmune disorder, which probably you don't have. Your question was truncated, check again with the ordering physician for what s/he is looking for, best wishes
