Why This Biomarker Matters

Identifying grey alder allergy helps you anticipate early spring symptoms and plan preventive strategies. This guides treatment timing and environmental avoidance in affected regions.

Overview

This test detects IgE antibodies to grey alder (Alnus incana), a tree whose pollen is a significant allergen in northern temperate regions. Grey alder blooms early in spring and produces abundant allergenic pollen. A positive result indicates your immune system may react to grey alder pollen, causing allergic rhinitis symptoms such as sneezing, nasal congestion, and itchy eyes. This test is particularly relevant in regions where grey alder is common, such as northern Europe and North America.
