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.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a level or class for spruce-specific IgE, along with a reference range from the lab. A clinician interprets the result together with your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
