An allergy is a hypersensitivity disorder of the immune system that causes undesirable reactions to certain substances like food, dust, pollen, drugs or even animal dander. The Allergy-Nuts Panel is a blood test designed to identify allergies to a common group of nuts and nut-related foods. It measures the immune system's reaction (specifically IgE antibodies) to these substances. This test is crucial for diagnosing nut allergies, especially if you experience symptoms like hives, itching, swelling, wheezing, or other allergic reactions after consuming nuts. The panel tests for individual nuts like almonds, Brazil nuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, cashews, pecans, walnuts, pistachios, and even coconut, which is technically a fruit but can trigger reactions similar to tree nut allergies. By identifying specific nut allergies, this test helps individuals and their doctors develop safe food plans and avoid potential allergic reactions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nuts allergy test is done for suspected allergies due to commonly used nuts either consumed as a whole or used as an ingredient in cooking to determine the exact source causing it (allergen).
Nuts allergy test measures the IgE-mediated response to 9 commonly consumed nuts:
- Almond
- Brazil Nut
- Hazelnut
- Peanut
- Cashewnut
- Pecan Nut
- Walnut
- Pistachio
- Coconut
Total IgE levels are also measured.
Nuts Allergy test requires a blood sample post-exposure to the allergens. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
You should get the allergy-nuts panel test if you have symptoms or allergic reactions after eating nuts. These nuts may either be whole or used in food as part of the ingredient.
Since it is a food-related allergy, it commonly causes gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhoea and vomiting, but at times mere exposure or consumption may even lead to other skin and respiratory-related symptoms like itching, rashes, running nose, sneezing, coughing, hives, and even shortness of breath. Certain severe cases may also lead to anaphylactic shock.
There are no specific preparations required for the test. However, it is recommended that you consult with your healthcare provider before taking the test, as they may have specific instructions or recommendations based on your individual medical history and current health status.
