What it measures
- Lamb-specific IgE — Antibodies tied to lamb; higher levels suggest sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody in the blood, sometimes used for context.
- Other meat-specific IgE — Checks for reactions to beef, pork, or chicken if multiple meats are suspected.
- Cross-reactive markers — Proteins such as serum albumin that can explain reactions to more than one meat.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell the clinician about any medications, especially antihistamines, since they can affect some allergy tests.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as antibody levels, often with a reference range or class score. A clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms and history, because a positive result alone does not prove an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
