What it measures
- Specific IgE to privet pollen — The main marker; shows whether your immune system has made antibodies against privet.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic activity, sometimes included for context.
- Other pollen IgE (optional) — May check related pollens to help identify cross-reactions.
- Serum collection — A standard blood draw; no special handling needed beyond normal lab processing.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is required. Tell your clinician about any antihistamines or medications you take, as some can affect test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a numeric level or a class (for example, negative, low, or high) for privet-specific IgE. A clinician interprets these results alongside your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice—discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
