Pistachio (f203) IgE details
What Pistachio (f203) IgE shows
Pistachio is a tree nut eaten as a snack and used in desserts, ice cream, sauces and baked goods. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to pistachio proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, digestive symptoms or breathing problems after eating it, and tree nut reactions can be severe. Pistachio is closely related to cashew, so sensitization to both is common. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be interpreted alongside your symptoms and history.
