Quick answer
The alfalfa allergy test checks a blood sample for immunoglobulin E antibodies against alfalfa. Alfalfa is a flowering legume grown as forage and sometimes consumed in sprouts, teas, or supplements. Because alfalfa pollen and plant proteins can both be allergenic, testing may be ordered for respiratory symptoms around fields or for reactions after ingestion.
About this test in Palo Alto
Alfalfa is a perennial plant in the legume family. Its pollen is a minor seasonal allergen, but it can affect people who live or work near fields where it is grown. Alfalfa sprouts and supplements contain plant proteins that may also trigger reactions in sensitive individuals.
The test measures allergen-specific IgE in serum with a quantitative immunoassay. Results are reported as a level and a reactivity class for alfalfa. Because legumes and pollens share some protein families, cross-reactivity with other plants can occur, and clinicians may review results from related tests together.
A positive result indicates sensitization and does not prove that a specific symptom was caused by alfalfa. Clinicians use the result together with a detailed history and examination. Anyone with severe or persistent reactions should consult a qualified healthcare provider.
