Red Cedar (t57) IgE details
What Red Cedar (t57) IgE shows
Red cedar is a conifer of the cypress family, and its pollen can cause allergies. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to red cedar pollen in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as sneezing, congestion or itchy eyes. Pollens from the cypress family cross-react strongly, so positive results to several of them are common. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is typically evaluated as part of a regional tree allergen panel.
