What it measures
- Walnut pollen-specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an antibody linked to allergy reactions.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in the blood, sometimes included for context.
- Other tree pollen-specific IgE — May be checked alongside walnut to see if related pollens also trigger reactions.
- Cross-reactive allergen markers — Proteins that can overlap with certain foods or other pollens, which may explain related symptoms.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about any allergy medications you take, because some can affect allergy testing.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for walnut pollen-specific IgE, along with any other markers tested. A clinician interprets these values together with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
