Orange (f33) IgE details
What Orange (f33) IgE shows
This test measures IgE antibodies directed at proteins in orange, a citrus fruit eaten fresh and widely used as juice and flavoring. It is used to check for allergic sensitization when you have had symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling or stomach upset after eating oranges or drinking orange juice. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to orange, and higher levels make a true allergy more likely. Some orange sensitization reflects cross-reactivity with pollen proteins, which may cause only mild mouth symptoms. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
