What it measures
- Sage-specific IgE — The main marker; it measures antibodies your immune system makes against sage.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help show an overall allergic tendency.
- Cross-reactive allergens — Sometimes checked because sage can resemble other plants like mugwort or ragweed.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for sage-specific IgE, often alongside total IgE. A clinician interprets these numbers with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule it out. This is general information, not medical advice.
