What it measures
- Specific IgE to horse dander — The main marker; it shows whether your blood contains antibodies that react to horse proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help your clinician see the overall picture.
- Other allergen-specific IgE — Sometimes tested alongside horse dander to check for reactions to dust, mold, or other animals.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about any antihistamines or other medicines you take, because some can affect allergy testing.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of specific IgE, often grouped as negative, low, moderate, or high. A clinician interprets the number together with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
