What this test is

This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in the blood that are specific to white potato. IgE antibodies are part of the immune system and can be produced in response to allergens. The test is used to help assess sensitization to potato, but it does not by itself diagnose a clinical allergy.

What it measures

  • Potato-specific IgE antibodies — Reflects the level of IgE antibodies directed against white potato proteins.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small sample of blood, usually from a vein in the arm, using 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 hives, itching, swelling, or digestive issues after eating potatoes or foods containing potato. It is often used along with a medical history and other evaluations to help determine whether a potato allergy is possible.

Preparation

How results are reported
