What it measures
- Specific IgE antibodies — Immune proteins that may rise when the body reacts to a chemical.
- Isocyanate antibodies — Markers linked to chemicals used in paints, foams, and coatings.
- Formaldehyde antibodies — Markers linked to a common preservative and resin chemical.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic immune activity, not specific to one chemical.
- Eosinophil count — A type of white blood cell that can rise with allergic inflammation.
Preparation
No fasting is usually required. Tell your clinician about any medicines you take, because some drugs can affect antibody results.
