Red Top Grass (g9) IgE details
What Red Top Grass (g9) IgE shows
Red top is a grass found in pastures, lawns, roadsides and damp meadows across much of the US. Like other temperate grasses, it releases pollen in late spring and summer. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to red top grass pollen in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain seasonal hay fever symptoms such as sneezing, a runny nose and itchy eyes during the grass pollen season. Pollens of common pasture grasses cross-react, so results are often positive to several. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, and is typically read with other grass allergens.
