What it measures
- Walnut pollen-specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an antibody linked to allergy reactions.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergy-related antibody in the blood, sometimes included for context.
- Other tree pollen-specific IgE — May be checked alongside walnut to see if related pollens also trigger reactions.
- Cross-reactive allergen markers — Proteins that can overlap with certain foods or other pollens, which may explain related symptoms.
