Kiwi Fruit (f84) IgE details
What Kiwi Fruit (f84) IgE shows
Kiwi fruit is eaten fresh, in fruit salads and smoothies, and in some desserts. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to kiwi proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as itching or tingling in the mouth, hives, swelling, stomach upset, or more serious reactions after eating kiwi. Kiwi sensitization is sometimes linked to latex allergy or to birch and other pollen allergies, because similar proteins are found in them, so a positive result may reflect cross-reactivity. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it is read alongside your symptoms and history of reactions.
