In this study, we focused on urinary PGDM as a novel biomarker for detecting immediate-type induced symptoms of food allergy, and verified whether it is useful for diagnosis of food allergy and determination of therapeutic effect. Urinary PGDM was measured in 39 patients who underwent an oral food challenge test, and urinary PGDM was elevated in patients whose symptoms were induced by the challenge test. Furthermore, as a result of measuring urinary PGDM in 24 patients undergoing oral immunotherapy, patients who did not have an increase in urinary PGDM acquired a desensitized state and the therapeutic effect of immunotherapy was high. .. These results suggest that urinary PGDM is useful not only for objectively detecting allergic symptoms but also for determining the therapeutic effect of food allergies.
