The IgE allergy test is performed to detect allergic reactions triggered by the consumption of legumes, such as red kidney beans. Clinical manifestations may include allergic rhinitis, asthma, and other respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms due to the phytohemagglutinin allergens. Healthcare professionals employ this test to diagnose sensitivity and provide guidance for allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Important note: Minimum volume is 1 mL and 0.5 mL for every additional allergen.
