What it measures
- Alfalfa-specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an antibody linked to allergic reactions.
- Total IgE — Sometimes measured to give context, though it cannot confirm a specific allergy.
- Other pollen-specific IgE — May be checked because alfalfa can cross-react with some grasses and pollens.
- Serum tryptase — Occasionally added if a severe reaction is being evaluated.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about all medicines, especially antihistamines, because some can affect allergy testing.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of alfalfa-specific IgE, often shown as a number or class. A clinician interprets the result alongside your symptoms and history, since a positive test alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
