What this test is

This test measures IgE antibodies in your blood that target malt proteins. IgE antibodies are the type linked to immediate allergic reactions. The test is used to see if malt may be triggering your symptoms.

What it measures

  • Malt-specific IgE — Reflects allergic antibody binding to malt proteins
  • Total IgE — Sometimes measured to give overall allergic antibody context

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have had allergic symptoms after consuming foods or drinks that contain malt. It is often used along with your history and other allergy tests to help identify triggers.

Preparation

No special preparation is usually needed, but follow the instructions provided by the collection lab. Tell the lab about any medications you take, as some may affect test results.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a level of malt-specific IgE, often with a qualitative interpretation such as negative, low, or high. Reference ranges and reporting methods vary by laboratory, so your clinician will interpret your results in context.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test
