Japanese Cedar (t17) IgE details
What Japanese Cedar (t17) IgE shows
Japanese cedar is a tall conifer native to Japan, where its pollen is a major cause of seasonal allergy, and it is also planted in some other regions. It releases pollen mainly in late winter and spring. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to Japanese cedar pollen to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain seasonal symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose, or itchy eyes during its pollen season. Its pollen cross-reacts with pollen from related trees, including mountain cedar and cypress, so a positive result may reflect exposure to those. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is read alongside your symptoms.
