About Grapefruit Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Caguas
This test detects IgE antibodies directed against grapefruit proteins using a blood sample.
IgE antibodies bind to specific allergens and trigger the release of histamine and other mediators from immune cells. A blood test quantifies the level of grapefruit-specific IgE in the bloodstream.
Elevated IgE results indicate sensitization to grapefruit proteins, which may or may not correspond to clinical symptoms. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history of reactions after eating or handling the fruit.
Citrus fruits such as orange, lemon, and lime contain related proteins, so cross-reactivity is possible. A clinician can determine whether additional testing is warranted based on the initial findings.
