Bertholletia excelsa recombinant (rBer e) 1 Ab.IgE
Quantifies IgE antibodies against Brazil nut allergen protein in blood.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Confirms Brazil nut allergy and helps guide dietary avoidance decisions. Brazil nut allergies can trigger severe reactions requiring emergency treatment.
Overview
This test measures IgE antibodies against a specific protein found in Brazil nuts, helping identify true allergic sensitization to this allergen. Brazil nut allergies can cause reactions ranging from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis. The test uses recombinant protein technology for improved specificity and accuracy. A positive result indicates your immune system has developed an allergic response to Brazil nuts, which may warrant dietary avoidance and consideration of emergency medications.
