How the BLG Test Is Performed

A trained professional collects blood sample into a labeled container, and the collection usually takes only a few minutes. Follow the lab's instructions. The sample is then sent to a licensed laboratory, where the BLG Test is analyzed. No special equipment is needed for the BLG Test beyond what a routine sample collection requires.

How to Prepare for the BLG Test

Arriving a few minutes early helps the appointment for the BLG Test run smoothly. Following the preparation notes for the BLG Test helps ensure the sample is suitable for analysis. Preparing for the BLG Test is usually simple, and any specific instructions are provided with the test. Follow the lab's instructions.

Interpreting High and Low BLG Test Results

A value above the range is called high and one below is called low, but either can have many explanations. High and low results from the BLG Test are best reviewed with a healthcare provider rather than interpreted alone. Beta lactoglobulin, or BLG, is a major allergen in cow's milk and whey. A single high or low value from the BLG Test may reflect normal variation, so repeat testing is sometimes used.
