Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot) Allergy Test in Nevada

The Orchard Grass (Cocksfoot) Allergy Test is a blood test that checks for an allergic response to orchard grass pollen, a common cause of seasonal hay fever. It is ordered when symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, or itchy eyes occur during grass pollen seasons.

What it measures

Specific IgE to Orchard Grass — Measures the amount of allergy-related antibody (IgE) your blood makes against orchard grass pollen.
Total IgE — Sometimes measured to show your overall allergy antibody level, though it cannot pinpoint a specific allergen.
Cross-reactive Grass Allergens — Orchard grass shares similar proteins with other grasses, so a positive result may also reflect sensitivity to related grasses.

Who it is for

This test is typically ordered by primary care clinicians or allergists for people with ongoing or seasonal allergy symptoms that may be linked to grass pollen.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. The blood sample can be taken at any time of day.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a numerical level of specific IgE, often with a reference range or class score. 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.
