The Oak IgE level test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to oak pollen in the blood. Elevated levels of Oak IgE indicate an allergic reaction to oak pollen.
This test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor allergies related to oak pollen, such as oak pollen-induced allergic rhinitis (hay fever) and oak pollen-induced asthma. It helps healthcare professionals determine if a person's symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath, are due to an allergic reaction to oak pollen.
