What it measures
- Lemon-specific IgE — Amount of antibody directed at lemon proteins.
- Total IgE — Overall allergy antibody level, sometimes used for context.
- Citrus cross-reactive markers — Proteins shared with other citrus fruits that may explain reactions.
- Component allergens (if done) — Individual lemon proteins to help assess risk.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about all medications, especially antihistamines, as they may affect results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number or class for each marker, often alongside a reference range. A clinician interprets these in the context of your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
