  <0.35 KU/L : ALLERGEN LEVEL 0 - ABSENT OR UNDETECTABLE ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  0.35 - 0.69 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 1 - LOW OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  0.70 - 3.49 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 2 - MODERATE LEVEL OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  3.50 - 17.49 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 3 - HIGH LEVEL OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  17.50 - 49.99 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 4 - VERY HIGH LEVEL OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  50.0 - 100.00 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 5 - VERY HIGH LEVEL OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  > 100.00 : ALLERGEN LEVEL 6 - EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL OF ALLERGEN SPECIFIC IgE 

  
  

  The result sheet also had the following statement: 

  
  

  IN FOOD ALLERGY, CIRCULATING IgE ANTIBODIES MAY REMAIN UNDETECTABLE BECAUSE THE ANTIBODY MAY BE DIRECTED TO ALLERGENS THAT ARE REVEALED OR ALTERED DURING INDUSTRIAL PROCESSING, COOKING OR DIGESTION AND DO NOT EXIST IN THE ORIGINAL FOOD. 

  
  

  A NEGATIVE OR EQUIVOCAL TEST RESULT SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED TO MEAN THAT THE PATIENT IS NOT OR NO LONGER SENSITIVE TO THE ALLERGEN TESTED. HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS MAY STILL OCCUR. RESULTS SHOULD BE INTERPRETED WITH CAUTION.

   

  **Also remember that these levels to not predict how severe a reaction would be to that particular allergen.**
