Allergen Reference Ranges: Class 0: Less than 0.35 kU/L Absent or Undetected Class 1: 0.35 - 0.70 kU/L Low Class 2: 0.71 - 3.50 kU/L Moderate Class 3: 3.51 - 17.5 kU/L High Class 4: 17.6 - 50.0 kU/L Very High Class 5: 50.1 - 100 kU/L Very High Class 6: Greater than 100 kU/L Very High Allergens scoring in Class 1 have uncertain clinical relevance but could be a risk factor for future sensitization. Allergens scoring in Class 2 or higher have an increasing probability of contributing to a total allergenic load and can be considered clinically relevant.
