Walnut Allergy Test

Understanding walnut allergies is crucial, as it involves the body’s immune response triggering the release of histamine through the interaction of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies with walnut proteins. This leads to a spectrum of symptoms, from mild throat itching and sneezing to severe manifestations like hives, facial swelling, and, rarely, anaphylactic shock. The complexity extends with cross-reactivity to other nuts. Hypro Diagnostics 24|7 provides an extensive walnut allergy test using in-vitro serum testing, measuring IgE concentrations. A high fluorescence value indicates potential allergy. However, accuracy can be affected by factors like prior immunotherapy or nonspecific antigen binding. This comprehensive test from Hypro Diagnostics aids in diagnosis, determining severity, outlining treatment options, and assessing cross-reactive sensitivity—an invaluable resource for those navigating nut allergies.
