Allergen, Interp, Immunocap Score IgE:

Reference Interval: Allergen, Interpretation

Less than 0.10               kU/L                 No significant level detected

0.10-0.34                       kU/L                 Clinical relevance undetermined

0.35-0.70                       kU/L                 Low

0.71-3.50                       kU/L                 Moderate

3.51-17.50                     kU/L                 High

17.51 or Greater             kU/L                 Very High

Allergen results of 0.10-0.34 kU/L are intended for specialist use as the clinical relevance is undetermined.  Even though increasing ranges are reflective of increasing concentrations of allergen-specific IgE, these concentrations may not correlate with the degree of clinical response of skin testing results when challenged with a specific allergen.  The correlation of allergy laboratory results with clinical history and in vivo reactivity to specific allergens is essential.  A negative test may not rule out clinical allergy or even anaphylaxis.
