Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Availability, hours, preparation, and pricing differ by collection site, so confirm those details with the lab before you go.
What it measures
- Eggplant-specific IgE — The main marker; IgE is an immune protein linked to allergic reactions.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
- Related food-specific IgE — May check other foods in the same plant family, such as tomato or potato, if your clinician requests it.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is usually required. Tell your clinician about all medicines you take, since some drugs can affect immune test results.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of specific IgE, often grouped as negative, low, moderate, or high. A positive result does not by itself prove an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule one out; a clinician interprets the numbers alongside your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
