What it measures
- Candida albicans specific IgE — The main marker; it shows whether your immune system has made allergic antibodies to this yeast.
- Total IgE (optional) — A general measure of allergic antibody levels; sometimes included for context.
- Other allergen specific IgEs (panel) — If part of a broader allergy panel, results for other allergens may be reported alongside.
