Autologous Serum Skin Test In Pune For Chronic Urticaria Evaluation
The Autologous Serum Skin Test (ASST) is a clinical skin test used during the evaluation of chronic spontaneous urticaria. It helps assess whether a patient’s own serum may trigger a skin response that can support clinical suspicion of autoimmune urticaria.
This test may be considered in people with recurrent hives, persistent itching, or wheals lasting more than six weeks when routine allergy assessment does not explain the condition. healthcare nt sickcare does not perform the Autologous Serum Skin Test in Pune, and this procedure is usually conducted in a specialist dermatology or hospital setting under medical supervision.
Test Overview
- Test Type: In-Vivo Skin Test
- Fasting Required: No
- Sample Used: Patient’s Own Serum
- Clinical Use: Evaluation Of Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria
When This Test May Be Recommended?

Preparation And Clinical Information
Fasting is usually not required before ASST, although the treating doctor may advise temporary stoppage of medicines such as antihistamines before the procedure. The test should be interpreted only in the context of clinical history, examination findings, and specialist judgment, as it is one part of a broader urticaria evaluation.

Persistent itching, recurrent wheals, hives lasting more than six weeks, or incomplete response to standard treatment may lead to specialist evaluation for ASST.
