Why might a Provider order this test?
Providers may prefer this serum IgE test over skin tests for patients with extensive skin disease, those who have recently taken antihistamines or other medications that interfere with skin tests, patients who are uncooperative, or when there's a high risk of a severe allergic reaction from skin testing.
Understanding Your Results:
A single test result shouldn't be the sole basis for a diagnosis. A healthcare provider will consider these results along with other clinical and laboratory findings to make a comprehensive diagnosis.
