The KS, NE, ND and SD Top Allergies Test Panel is a blood test that checks for allergic sensitization to common allergens in Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota. It is ordered when a person has ongoing or seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing or hives and a clinician wants to identify possible triggers.

What it measures

  • Specific IgE antibodies — Proteins your immune system makes in response to allergens; measured for each allergen in the panel.
  • Grass pollens — Common regional grasses that release pollen and can cause seasonal allergy symptoms.
  • Tree pollens — Trees such as oak, cedar and birch that pollinate in spring.
  • Weed pollens — Plants such as ragweed and sagebrush that pollinate in late summer and fall.
  • Molds — Fungal spores found indoors and outdoors that can trigger year-round symptoms.
  • Animal dander — Proteins from pets such as cats, dogs and rodents.

Who it is for

A primary care clinician, allergist or nurse practitioner typically orders this panel after reviewing symptoms, seasonality and exposure history. It may also be ordered when skin testing is not practical.

Preparation

No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about antihistamines or other medications you take, because some can affect allergy testing, and follow any instructions you are given.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a level or class for each allergen, showing whether sensitization is detected. A clinician interprets the results alongside your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
