Quick answer
The Grey Alder allergy test measures immunoglobulin E antibodies against pollen from the grey alder tree. Alder is one of the first trees to release pollen in many regions, so symptoms can appear while other trees are still dormant. The test is a blood-based option and fits into a broader seasonal allergy workup.
About this test in Aetna Estates
Grey alder is a deciduous tree related to birch, and its pollen is a recognized trigger of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Symptoms can include sneezing, a runny or blocked nose, itchy watery eyes, and throat irritation. Because alder pollen seasons can overlap with hazel and birch, identifying the specific sensitization helps clarify the pattern.
The test uses a serum sample to measure allergen-specific IgE, the antibody class involved in immediate allergic reactions. Laboratories report a quantitative level and a reactivity class for grey alder. Some assays also detect the major allergen Aln g 1, which is closely related to the birch allergen Bet v 1 and can explain cross-reactivity between the two trees.
A positive result shows sensitization rather than confirming that pollen is causing current symptoms. Clinicians combine it with the timing of symptoms, exposure history, and other test results. People whose symptoms recur each pollen season often use the result to plan their care with a healthcare provider.
