What it measures
- Red Cedar Specific IgE — The main marker; it measures antibodies your body makes against red cedar proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy antibody level that can help put the specific result in context.
- Other Tree Pollen IgE — Sometimes tested together to see whether symptoms come from more than one tree.
- Cross-Reactive Allergens — Related proteins that can cause reactions to similar plants or foods.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, since some drugs can affect allergy test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for red cedar specific IgE, often alongside a total IgE value. A clinician interprets these numbers with your symptoms and history; a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
