Order Kiwi Fruit Allergy Test | Fruit AllergiesA kiwi fruit allergy test measures the presence of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies specific to kiwi fruit in a blood sample.

About Kiwi Fruit Allergy Test | Fruit Allergies in Petaluma
Kiwi fruit allergy testing focuses on the immune system's antibody response to proteins found in the fruit.
Kiwi fruit contains several proteins that can act as allergens. When a person is sensitized to these proteins, the immune system produces IgE antibodies that recognize them as foreign. A blood test detects these specific antibodies, providing an objective measure of sensitization.
Allergic reactions to kiwi can vary widely. Some people experience oral allergy syndrome, with tingling or itching in the mouth, while others may develop hives, swelling, or gastrointestinal discomfort. In rare cases, a severe reaction known as anaphylaxis can occur. Testing can help clarify whether symptoms are linked to kiwi.
IgE antibody testing is one tool among several used in allergy evaluation. Results are typically interpreted alongside a person's medical history and reported symptoms. A positive result indicates sensitization, but it does not always predict the severity or type of reaction. A negative result can help rule out kiwi as a cause of symptoms.
