About the test
The Red Kidney Bean (f287) IgE test measures your body's allergic response to red kidney beans by quantifying IgE antibodies. This test is performed in a lab and helps in diagnosing food allergies when combined with other clinical evaluations. Food-specific IgE tests are very sensitive but a positive result doesn't always mean you'll have allergic reactions to the food. A healthcare provider should evaluate these results alongside your medical history to accurately diagnose a food allergy.
Who might need this test?
This test is particularly useful in situations where skin allergy tests might not be suitable, such as:
- Widespread skin disease
- Recent use of antihistamines or other medications
- Uncooperative patients
- High risk of severe allergic reactions from skin tests
