What it measures
- Elm pollen-specific IgE — The main marker; a higher level suggests your body reacts to elm pollen.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in your blood, sometimes included for context.
- Other tree pollen IgE — May be tested together to see whether related trees also trigger symptoms.
- Seasonal allergen panel — A group of common pollens tested at the same time to narrow down triggers.
