Order Grapefruit Allergy Test | Citrus AllergiesA grapefruit allergy test measures the amount of specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to grapefruit proteins. It is used alongside a clinical history to help identify whether a person's symptoms are consistent with a citrus allergy.
About Grapefruit Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Gresham
Grapefruit belongs to the citrus family, and reactions to it are uncommon but well documented.
Citrus fruits such as grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime share some allergenic proteins, so a person who reacts to one may sometimes react to others. Symptoms can include itching or tingling of the mouth, hives, swelling, or in rare cases more severe reactions.
The test works by exposing a blood sample to grapefruit allergen and measuring the IgE antibody response. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions. Results are reported as a level or class that a clinician interprets together with the patient's symptom history.
A positive result does not by itself confirm an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule one out. Some people have IgE antibodies without symptoms, while others have symptoms through mechanisms that this test does not detect. Testing is therefore most useful when combined with a careful medical evaluation.
