About Grapefruit Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Maple Grove
This test detects IgE antibodies directed against grapefruit proteins using a blood sample.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to normally harmless substances. When a person is sensitized to grapefruit, the immune system produces IgE that recognizes specific proteins in the fruit.
A blood-based specific IgE test quantifies the level of these antibodies. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and reported symptoms, since sensitization does not always correspond to clinical allergy.
Citrus fruits share some allergenic proteins, so reactions to grapefruit may occur alongside sensitivities to other citrus. Testing can help clarify the role of grapefruit within a broader allergy evaluation.
