What it measures
- Spruce pollen-specific IgE — The main marker; it shows whether your immune system makes antibodies to spruce pollen.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in the blood.
- Other tree pollen-specific IgE — Sometimes checked at the same time to compare spruce with similar pollens.
- Cross-reactive markers — Proteins that may explain reactions to related plants or foods.
Preparation
No fasting is required. Tell your clinician about any allergy medications you take, because some antihistamines can affect allergy testing.
