This test is done to check the level of IgE antibodies in the blood that are specific to sunflower seeds. IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to an allergic reaction. By measuring the IgE level, doctors can determine if a person is allergic to sunflower seeds. This information is important for diagnosing and managing allergies. If the test shows a high level of sunflower seed IgE, it suggests that the person is allergic to sunflower seeds and may experience symptoms like itching, hives, or difficulty breathing when exposed to them.
