Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Always confirm current preparation steps, hours, and any fees directly with the collection lab.
What it measures
- Rat urine protein-specific IgE — An antibody tied to allergic reactions against rat urine proteins.
- Total IgE — A general allergy-related antibody level that can help show an allergic tendency.
- Rat serum albumin-specific IgE — An antibody against a protein also found in rat urine.
- Rat urine protein-specific IgG — An antibody that may show exposure without proving allergy.
Preparation
No fasting or special timing is needed. Tell your clinician about any allergy medicines you take, because some can affect test results.
Results and what they mean
