What it measures
- Turkey-specific IgE — An antibody that, if present, suggests an allergy to turkey.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, not specific to turkey.
- Turkey albumin — A protein in turkey that can trigger reactions in some people.
- Turkey globulin — Another turkey protein that may cause allergic symptoms.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the test.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number or class for each marker, showing whether turkey-specific IgE is present and how high it is. A clinician interprets these results along with your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean you have an allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
