What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to brome grass and its pollen. IgE is an immune protein that can be produced when a person is sensitized to an allergen such as grass pollen. The test is typically used alongside a person's symptom history and other allergy testing.

What it measures

  • Brome grass specific IgE — Reflects the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that bind to brome grass pollen proteins.
  • Total IgE (if included) — Sometimes measured alongside specific IgE to give a general picture of allergic antibody levels.
  • Other grass pollen specific IgEs (if included) — May be tested together to see if reactions occur to related grasses such as timothy or orchard grass.

What the test involves

A blood sample is collected, usually from a vein in the arm during a standard blood draw. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test when a person reports symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or wheezing that could be related to grass pollen exposure. It can help support an allergy evaluation when used with a person's medical history and other findings.

Preparation

In general, no special preparation is needed for this blood test, but follow any instructions provided by the collection laboratory. If you take medications, ask the lab or your clinician whether any of them could affect the test.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric value for specific IgE to brome grass, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, moderate, or high. Reference ranges and reporting formats vary by laboratory, so results should be interpreted in the context of the lab's own ranges and your clinician's assessment.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test and if you need to stop them beforehand.
  • How and when results will be shared with you and your clinician.
  • Whether the laboratory uses its own reference ranges and how those will be reported.
