The test measures the level of IgE antibodies specific to pine nuts, also known as pignoles. IgE is an immunoglobulin that is produced by the immune system in response to allergens.
This test is used to diagnose and assess allergic reactions or sensitivities to pine nuts. Elevated IgE levels indicate a potential allergic reaction to pine nuts, which can manifest as symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, difficulty breathing, or gastrointestinal issues.
