Allergen, Food, Black Olive IgE

Also known as: OLIVE IGE

Clinical Use

Order Test

Use

This test is used to measure the concentration of allergen-specific IgE antibodies against black olives in the serum. These measurements provide clinicians with valuable information in diagnosing potential allergic reactions to black olives. While increasing ranges indicate higher concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these values may not directly correlate with the severity of an allergic response or skin testing results. Assessment should always be contextualized with the patient's clinical history and testing results of specific allergens, aiding in accurate diagnosis and management of food allergies.

Special Instructions

Ensure adequate serum volume for testing. Specimens must be processed correctly by separating serum from cells as soon as possible or within 2 hours of collection. For additional allergen orders, refer to the Allergen Specimen Collection Instructions provided by ARUP Laboratories.

Limitations

Allergen-specific IgE concentrations may not correlate with the severity of clinical allergic reactions. The results should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient's history and the clinician's findings. A negative result does not rule out the possibility of an allergen-induced reaction, and cross-reactivity with other allergens is possible. The test has not been FDA-cleared or approved but is performed under CLIA-certified laboratory conditions for clinical purposes.
