Labs draw the line in different places. Mayo Clinic Laboratories lists 0.10 to 0.69 kU/L as borderline or equivocal and flags 0.70 and above, and its reference values apply to all ages. ARUP lists 0.34 kU/L or lower as its almond reference interval and says 0.10 to 0.34 is for specialist use because its meaning is unclear. The ImmunoCAP maker suggests a 0.35 kUA/L cutoff and tells each lab to set its own range. A result above these lines means sensitization, which is not the same as an allergy, and results from different labs or test brands are not directly comparable.","sources":[{"title":"Almond, IgE, Serum (test ID ALM)","url":"https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/overview/82882","publisher":"Mayo Clinic Laboratories"},{"title":"Allergens, Food, Tree Nuts Profile IgE (ARUP test 3017913)","url":"https://ltd.aruplab.com/Tests/Pub/3017913","publisher":"ARUP Laboratories"},{"title":"510(k) Decision Memorandum K173726: ImmunoCAP Specific IgE (ImmunoCAP Allergen f447, rAra h 6, Peanut)","url":"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/reviews/K173726.pdf","publisher":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration","year":2018},{"title":"Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of food allergy in the United States: report of the NIAID-sponsored expert panel","url":"https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4241964/","publisher":"Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology","year":2010}]}],"review":{"status":"ai-verified","label":"AI-verified against cited sources.
