Hazelnut-Food, IgE with Reflex to Hazelnut-Food Components, IgE, Serum
Use
The test is useful for evaluating patients with suspected hazelnut-food allergy. It measures the relative amount of IgE antibody to total hazelnut-food and IgE antibodies to specific hazelnut-food components. This test aids in assessing the potential strength and type of allergenic response to hazelnut-food. Component testing helps stratify risk of severe systemic reactions or identify pollen-related allergies.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Negative results for IgE antibodies against hazelnut or its components do not completely exclude the possibility of allergic responses. Cross-reacting carbohydrate determinants may result in positive total hazelnut specific IgE testing. Positive results indicate a possible sensitization to hazelnut or a cross-reactive allergen but are not diagnostic for allergy.
