About Cashew Allergy Test | Nut Allergy in Kenner
Cashew allergy testing is used when a person has had symptoms after eating cashews or foods that may contain them.
The test detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind to cashew proteins. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, which can include hives, itching, swelling, stomach upset, wheezing, or, in severe cases, anaphylaxis.
Cashew is a tree nut, and people who are allergic to cashews may also react to other nuts such as pistachios, which are botanically related. A blood test result is interpreted alongside a person's medical history and symptom pattern, because the presence of IgE antibodies does not always mean a clinical allergy will occur.
Results are typically reported as a numeric value with a reference range. A healthcare professional uses that value, together with the history and sometimes additional testing, to determine whether cashew should be avoided and whether an allergy action plan is needed.
