About Grapefruit Allergy Test | Citrus Allergies in Castro Valley
Grapefruit allergy is an immune response to proteins found in the fruit, peel, or juice.
The test detects specific IgE antibodies that bind to grapefruit allergens. A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory, and results are reported as a quantitative or semi-quantitative value.
Symptoms of grapefruit allergy can include itching or swelling of the mouth and throat, hives, stomach upset, and in rare cases, difficulty breathing. Because citrus fruits share some proteins, a reaction to grapefruit may also occur with other citrus.
Results should be interpreted alongside a clinical history. A positive IgE result alone does not confirm an allergy, and a negative result does not always rule out a non-IgE-mediated reaction.
