About Kiwi Fruit Allergy Test | Fruit Allergies in Dover
Understanding kiwi fruit allergy testing
Kiwi fruit allergy is an immune-mediated reaction to proteins found in the fruit. When the immune system mistakenly identifies these proteins as harmful, it produces IgE antibodies specific to them. A blood test can detect and quantify those antibodies.
The test uses a blood sample rather than a skin prick. A laboratory analyzes the sample for IgE antibodies that bind to kiwi fruit allergens. Results are typically reported as a numeric value, which a clinician interprets alongside symptoms and history.
A positive result indicates sensitization to kiwi, but sensitization does not always mean a clinical allergy. Some people have detectable antibodies without experiencing symptoms. Conversely, a negative result may not fully rule out allergy if the reaction is caused by certain labile proteins or by cross-reactivity.
