Order Almond IgE Allergy Test | Nut AllergiesThe Almond IgE Allergy Test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to almond proteins in a blood sample.

This test provides a quantitative result that, when interpreted alongside a clinical history, can help assess sensitization to almonds.
About Almond IgE Allergy Test | Nut Allergies in Banning
Almond allergy is one of several tree nut allergies that can cause reactions ranging from mild oral itching to severe systemic responses.
Almonds are tree nuts belonging to the Rosaceae family, which also includes stone fruits such as peaches, apricots, and cherries. Because of this botanical relationship, some individuals with almond allergy may also react to other members of the family, though cross-reactivity is not universal.
Allergic reactions to almonds are mediated by IgE antibodies that bind to specific proteins in the nut. Upon re-exposure, these antibodies trigger the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils, producing symptoms that may include hives, swelling, gastrointestinal distress, or respiratory difficulty.
The Almond IgE Allergy Test uses a blood sample to quantify almond-specific IgE. Results are typically reported in kilounits of antibody per liter (kU/L) or as a class score. A detectable level indicates sensitization, but diagnosis requires correlation with clinical symptoms, as sensitization without allergy can occur.
