ARUP, Mayo Clinic Laboratories and Labcorp print a result under 0.10 kU/L as class 0, so the usual range here ends at 0.09 and a printed 0.10 counts as above it. Labs draw the line in different places. Mayo flags 0.70 kU/L and above as high. ARUP lists 0.10 to 0.34 kU/L as clinical relevance undetermined and says those results are for specialist use. Labcorp's venom report uses its own class table (the second set below), and its sample report put an abnormal flag on results of 0.80 kU/L (class II) and higher; the sample shows no example in lower classes. The ImmunoCAP maker recommends a 0.35 kUA/L cutoff and tells each lab to set its own range. A result above these lines shows sensitization to the venom, which is not the same as a sting allergy. Use the range printed on your own lab report.","sources":[{"title":"Allergen, Insects and Venom, Yellow Jacket Venom (ARUP test 0055139)","url":"https://ltd.aruplab.com/Tests/Pub/0055139","publisher":"ARUP Laboratories"},{"title":"Yellow Jacket Venom, IgE, Serum (test ID YJV)","url":"https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/test-catalog/overview/82661","publisher":"Mayo Clinic Laboratories"},{"title":"Stinging Insect Venom Allergen Component Testing and Hymenoptera Venom Allergy Profile sample report (I003-IgE Yellow Jacket, Tryptase)","url":"https://labcorp.com/content/dam/labcorp/files/allergy-launch/DX_SS_L123005-0622-1.pdf","publisher":"Labcorp"},{"title":"ImmunoCAP Specific IgE (allergen component f447) 510(k) decision memorandum K173726","url":"https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/reviews/K173726.pdf","publisher":"U.S. Food and Drug Administration"}]}],"review":{"status":"ai-verified","label":"AI-verified against cited sources.
