# Pistachio Nut

> This test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood that react specifically to proteins found in pistachios. It helps show whether your immune system views pistachios as a threat, which is important if you have experienced itching, swelling, or digestive issues after eating nuts. This measurement helps doctors distinguish a potential pistachio allergy from other food sensitivities or allergies to different tree nuts. However, this test alone cannot predict how severe a future allergic reaction might be or confirm a diagnosis without a review of your medical history.
