What it measures
- Potato-specific IgE — Measures antibodies that may indicate an allergy to potato proteins.
- Total IgE — Sometimes included to show the overall level of allergic antibodies in the blood.
- Cross-reactive carbohydrate determinants (CCDs) — Can cause false-positive results; may be checked to help interpret the potato IgE level.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed for this blood test. You can eat and drink normally before your appointment.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a numerical level of potato-specific IgE, often with a reference range. A clinician interprets the number along with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you have a potato allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
