What this test is

What it measures

  • Kiwi-specific IgE — reflects the presence of an immune response to kiwi proteins

What the test involves

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if there are symptoms suggestive of a kiwi allergy, such as itching or swelling after consuming the fruit. It helps in understanding if kiwi is the cause of these allergic reactions.

How results are reported

Results are reported based on the level of IgE antibodies found, indicating the likelihood of an allergy. Reference ranges can vary by laboratory, so interpreting results should be done in context with lab-specific guidelines.
