Coconut (f36) IgE
Also known as: ImmunoCAP®
Use
This test detects the presence of specific IgE antibodies against coconut proteins. A positive result indicates sensitization, which may suggest allergy to coconut, but clinical signs and symptoms related to exposure are required for a definitive diagnosis. More specific information about this allergen can be found via the allergen encyclopedia reference. It supports evaluation of possible coconut allergy.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
A positive result indicates sensitization, not clinical allergy; diagnosis requires correlation with symptoms. Additional note: results with no doctor’s visit needed for direct-to-consumer ordering (per questhealth context), but clinical interpretation remains required.
