Clinical Significance

The clinical utility of food-specific IgG4 tests has not been clearly established. Physicians sometimes use allergen- specific IgG4 to evaluate patients prior to or during immunotherapy. These tests can be used in special clinical situations. This test should only be ordered by physicians who recognize the limitations of the test.
