# 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.
