What it measures
- Hazelnut-specific IgE antibodies — The main marker; it measures antibodies your immune system may make against hazelnut proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help put the specific result in context.
- Other tree nut-specific IgE — Sometimes tested together to see if reactions may involve other nuts.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. The blood sample can be collected at any time of day.
Results and what they mean
Results are usually reported as a number for hazelnut-specific IgE, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets the result along with your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean a true allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
