What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood that are associated with an allergic reaction to cabbage. It is one of several tools a clinician may use when evaluating a suspected food allergy.

What it measures

  • Cabbage-specific IgE — Reflects the level of antibody in your blood that binds to cabbage proteins.
  • Total IgE (if included) — Reflects overall allergic antibody levels, which can help provide context.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, typically 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 when a person reports symptoms after eating cabbage or related vegetables, such as hives, stomach upset, or breathing changes. It can help support a broader allergy evaluation when considered alongside your history and other findings.

Preparation

Preparation is usually minimal, but follow the instructions provided by the collection lab. If you take medications, ask the lab or your clinician whether any changes are needed before the draw.

How results are reported

Results are reported as a numeric value for cabbage-specific IgE, often alongside a reference range. Reference ranges vary by laboratory, so your results should be interpreted using the range provided by the testing lab.

Before you go
