What it measures
- Sheep sorrel-specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an antibody linked to allergic reactions.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, not specific to sheep sorrel.
- Other weed pollens — May be checked together to see if symptoms are due to similar plants.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, as some antihistamines may affect test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number or class level for sheep sorrel-specific IgE, often alongside a reference range. A higher level suggests sensitivity, but only a clinician can interpret it with your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
