About Walnut Allergy Test | Nut Allergies in Encinitas

The Walnut Allergy Screen is a blood test that detects IgE antibodies specific to walnut proteins.

IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to allergens. When a person is allergic to walnuts, these antibodies bind to walnut proteins and trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals, leading to allergy symptoms.

This test measures the level of walnut-specific IgE in the blood. It is typically used when a walnut allergy is suspected based on symptoms such as hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or digestive issues after eating walnuts.

Results are reported as a numerical value that indicates the likelihood and severity of an allergy. However, test results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider in the context of a person's medical history and symptoms.
