Peach Allergy Blood Test - More Information

This peach IgE test, also known as a peach allergy test and a peach IgE blood test, measures the peach IgE antibody blood level.

This peach IgE test uses the ImmunoCAP® lab methodology. Peach IgE antibody blood test results are reported in kU/L and can be compared against the IgE antibody reference range provided by the lab to determine the IgE allergy class to peach. This peach IgE test is a component of the fruit allergy test panel.

This peach allergy blood test is less painful and has less side effects than historical allergy testing methods such as the skin prick test (SPT). In the skin prick, or scratch, test, serum containing peach components are injected into the skin. If you are allergic to peach, you will, unfortunately, have a mild allergic reaction and all of the symptoms that go with it. Instead, this allergy blood test can check for the peach allergy without causing an allergic reaction, resulting in a much more comfortable lab testing experience through a simple blood draw.
