Quest DiagnosticsWhat this laboratory test evaluates
Caraway (Carum carvi) IgE
This test measures the body's allergic response to caraway through the detection of specific IgE antibodies. It's a precise lab test used alongside other clinical data to help diagnose food allergies.
Who might need this test?This test is particularly useful for individuals who might not be suitable for traditional skin allergy tests due to reasons like widespread skin disease, recent use of antihistamines, uncooperative behavior during testing, or a high risk of severe allergic reactions.
Understanding Your Results:A positive result indicates sensitivity to caraway but doesn't necessarily mean you'll experience allergic symptoms upon consuming it. Only a healthcare professional can diagnose a food allergy, considering both test results and medical history. It's important to note that not all food sensitivities involve IgE antibodies, and this test alone cannot diagnose all types of food allergies.
What type of sample is required for this test?0.3 mL serum.
