ARUP Laboratories calls 0.10 to 0.34 kU/L 'clinical relevance undetermined' and says those results are intended for specialist use. An older Mayo Clinic Laboratories listing for this test treats under 0.35 kU/L as negative, with the same values at all ages. 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. Pollen proteins that mugwort shares with other pollens can also raise this result (Wopfner 2005), and results from different labs or test brands are not directly comparable.","sources":[{"title":"Allergen, Weed, Mugwort (ARUP test 0055021)","url":"https://ltd.aruplab.com/Tests/Pub/0055021","publisher":"ARUP Laboratories"},{"title":"Mugwort, IgE, Serum (test ID MUG)","url":"https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/overview/82683","publisher":"Mayo Clinic 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},{"title":"The spectrum of allergens in ragweed and mugwort pollen","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16254437/","publisher":"International Archives of Allergy and Immunology","year":2005},{"title":"Prevalence of sensitization to Artemisia allergens Art v 1, Art v 3 and Art v 60 kDa.
