- Borderline/Equivocal: 0.10-0.34 kU/L, uncertain.
- Equivocal: 0.35-0.69 kU/L, uncertain.
- Positive: 0.70-3.49 kU/L, allergy likely.
- Strongly Positive: 3.50-17.4 kU/L, allergy present.
- Very Strongly Positive: 17.5-49.9 kU/L, significant allergy.
- Extremely Strongly Positive: ≥100 kU/L, severe allergy.
