What it measures
- Ginger-specific IgE — An antibody that, if present, suggests the immune system may react to ginger.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic tendency, not specific to ginger.
- Serum tryptase — An enzyme that can rise during a severe allergic reaction.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about all medications and supplements you take.
Results and what they mean
