What it measures
- Maple tree pollen-specific IgE — The main marker; it detects antibodies your immune system makes against maple pollen.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
- Other tree pollen-specific IgE — May test related trees such as oak, birch, or cedar to compare reactions.
- Seasonal allergen panel — A group of common pollen and mold markers that can be checked at the same time.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat, drink, and take your usual medications unless your clinician tells you otherwise.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level or class for each marker, which helps show whether a sensitivity is present. A clinician interprets these numbers alongside your symptoms and history, since a positive result alone does not confirm an allergy. This is general information and not medical advice.
