Pigweed rough Ab.IgG
Detects immune antibodies (IgG) against rough pigweed allergen.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Positive results indicate past exposure and sensitization to pigweed. This helps identify potential environmental allergen triggers in patients with seasonal allergies.
Understanding Your Results
Normal Range
3.5 ug/mL
Overview
Rough pigweed is a common plant allergen found in soil and air, particularly in late summer and fall. This test detects IgG antibodies against rough pigweed, indicating past or chronic exposure and immune sensitization. IgG antibodies reflect long-term exposure rather than acute allergy. Positive results suggest you've been exposed to this plant allergen, and your immune system has developed antibodies. This test helps identify potential environmental triggers for allergic symptoms.
