What it measures
- Gerbil-specific IgE — An antibody that can rise when your body treats gerbil proteins as a threat.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in your blood.
- Serum albumin — A protein in blood that helps show the sample is suitable for testing.
- Other allergen-specific IgE — Sometimes checked alongside common allergens to compare possible triggers.
Preparation
