Term Description

This test is a specific immunological test that measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against cobalt in a person's blood serum. IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to exposure to certain allergens or substances, and their presence indicates an allergic reaction.
This test is used to help diagnose occupational asthma or other respiratory allergic conditions caused by exposure to cobalt, which is a low molecular weight agent commonly found in various industrial and manufacturing settings.[PMID 7939614]

Part Description

LP14368-2   Cobalt
Cobalt is a chemical element used to manufacture hard metal alloys, glass, paints and fertilizers. It is also an essential element supplied through dietary intake. High levels of cobalt in patients due to toxic ingestion or occupational exposure can cause erythrocytosis, cardiomyopathy, allergic dermatitis, pulmonary fibrosis, cough and dyspnea.

Veterinary Medicine:
Low levels of cobalt are known to cause anemia in pigs. Daily doses of cobalt sulphate can induce myocardial damage in pigs, but this can be prevented by intramuscular administration of sodium selenite and alpha-tocopherol on previous day. Source: Regenstrief LOINC
