How the test works
The test measures your blood foar an antibody called IgE, a specific marker of the allergic disease process. When your results are positive, the test reports the levels of IgE for specific allergy triggers such as pollen, house dust mite, or cat dander. Using this information (along with a physical examination and case history), your doctor can diagnose the cause of your symptoms and tailor treatments that will help you feel better.
