weed and grass allergy test panel

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.

This test measures your immune system's allergic response to meadow fescue, a common grass found in pastures and lawns. It detects IgE antibodies, which are produced when your body mistakenly identifies grass pollen as a threat. The result shows what percentage of your total IgE is specific to meadow fescue. Elevated levels indicate a grass pollen allergy and can help explain seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma, or other allergic symptoms during grass pollen season.

This test measures IgE antibodies against multiple grass pollens including Bermuda grass, rye grass, timothy, Kentucky blue grass, Johnson grass, and Bahia grass. Positive results indicate allergic sensitization to these common grasses, a leading cause of seasonal allergic rhinitis and asthma. Symptoms typically peak during grass pollen season (spring and early summer). Results help identify which grass species trigger reactions, guiding avoidance strategies and allergy treatment.

This test detects IgE antibodies against wild rye grass pollen proteins, indicating an allergic reaction to this common environmental allergen. People with positive results typically experience seasonal allergic rhinitis (hay fever) symptoms—such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes—during grass pollen season. This test helps identify specific grass allergen triggers, allowing for targeted allergy management strategies like avoidance or immunotherapy.

This test detects IgE antibodies against multiple grass allergens commonly found in grass pollen. Grass pollens are major environmental allergens that trigger seasonal allergies (hay fever) in millions of people. A positive result indicates allergic sensitization to these grass species and predicts allergic symptoms during grass pollen season. This panel helps identify specific grass allergens triggering symptoms, enabling targeted avoidance strategies and immunotherapy planning.

This test detects IgE antibodies against lamb meat protein, identifying potential meat allergy. Lamb allergies are less common than beef or pork allergies but can occur, sometimes associated with alpha-gal syndrome (a tick-borne condition). Symptoms may range from oral itching to gastrointestinal distress or anaphylaxis. A positive result helps you avoid lamb and related meats, and may warrant further testing if other red meats trigger reactions.

This test detects IgE antibodies against Franseria acanthicarpa (false ragweed or cocklebur), a weed pollen allergen prevalent in arid and semi-arid regions of North America. False ragweed pollen causes seasonal allergic rhinitis and asthma in sensitive individuals, particularly during late summer and fall. A positive result indicates sensitization to this weed pollen. This test helps confirm environmental allergies and guides allergen avoidance and medication timing in affected regions.

This test detects IgE antibodies to meadow fescue grass pollen, indicating an allergic response. A positive result suggests grass pollen allergy that specifically reacts to fescue grass, a common allergen in spring and early summer. Grass pollen allergies typically cause seasonal symptoms like sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. This test helps identify which grass species trigger allergies, allowing targeted avoidance strategies and appropriate allergy management.

This urine test detects lambda immunoglobulin light chains, which are protein building blocks of antibodies. Normally present in small amounts, elevated levels in urine may indicate kidney damage, multiple myeloma, or other plasma cell disorders. The presence of light chains in urine (proteinuria) suggests the kidney's filtering capacity is compromised and cannot retain these proteins, requiring further investigation into kidney function and potential disease.

This test detects IgE antibodies against mugwort pollen proteins, indicating a potential mugwort pollen allergy. Mugwort is a common environmental allergen that causes seasonal allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, particularly during late summer and fall. Reactions typically include nasal congestion, sneezing, itchy eyes, and throat irritation. A positive result confirms mugwort allergy and may suggest cross-reactivity with other plants in the Artemisia family or birch pollen. This information helps guide allergy management and immunotherapy decisions.
