What it measures
- Mesquite-specific IgE — An antibody linked to allergic reactions; a higher level may suggest sensitivity.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help provide context.
- Related pollen IgE — Checks for similar tree or weed pollens that may cause cross-reactions.
- Cross-reactive food IgE — Looks at foods such as legumes that may share similar proteins.
- Serum collection quality — Confirms the blood sample was suitable for testing.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required. Tell your clinician about antihistamines, other medications, and any recent allergy symptoms, because timing and medicine use can affect interpretation.
Results and what they mean
