Kiwi Fruit

This test measures the amount of IgE antibodies in your blood that specifically react to proteins found in kiwi fruit. It helps show whether your immune system recognizes kiwi as a threat, which is useful for investigating symptoms like mouth itching, hives, or swelling after eating this fruit. This analysis helps distinguish a potential allergy from other causes of food reactions, such as general intolerance or oral allergy syndrome. While it detects sensitization, this test alone cannot predict the specific severity of a future allergic reaction.
