Use

This test measures the level of IgE antibodies specific to chickpea (garbanzo bean) proteins. The results help in assessing the allergic sensitization to chickpeas, potentially indicating susceptibility to allergic reactions upon ingestion. Although the test detects the presence of allergen-specific IgE antibodies, the concentrations may not always correlate with the severity of allergic reactions. It is crucial to interpret the test results along with the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic findings to assess the risk of clinical allergy, as the presence of specific IgE can indicate sensitization rather than definite allergy.
