Order Cashew Allergy Test | Nut AllergyA cashew allergy test measures the amount of IgE antibodies your immune system produces in response to cashew proteins.

About Cashew Allergy Test | Nut Allergy in Berkeley
What the cashew allergy test measures
The test uses a blood sample to quantify specific IgE antibodies directed against cashew nut proteins. IgE is the class of antibody most closely associated with immediate-type allergic reactions, so elevated levels suggest that the immune system has been primed to recognize cashew as a threat.
Results are typically reported as a numerical value in kilounits of antibody per liter (kU/L), often alongside a reference range that helps classify the level as negative, low, moderate, or high. A higher number generally indicates a greater likelihood of clinical reactivity, though the test alone cannot predict the severity of a future reaction.
Cashew sensitization does not always equal cashew allergy. Some individuals have detectable IgE without experiencing symptoms when they eat cashews, while others react even at low antibody levels. For this reason, results are best interpreted by a clinician alongside your history of symptoms, other food allergies, and any additional testing that may be recommended.
