Quick answer
The Kiwi Fruit Allergy Test detects IgE antibodies against proteins in kiwifruit. Kiwi is a common fruit allergen, and reactions range from itching or tingling in the mouth to hives and, less often, more serious symptoms. Some people react to fresh kiwi because of cross-reactive proteins shared with pollen such as birch or latex. The test helps assess whether an allergic sensitization to kiwi is present.
What this test measures
Kiwi allergy is caused by proteins in the fruit that the immune system recognizes as allergens. Several kiwi proteins have been described, including actinidin and thaumatin-like proteins. Sensitivity can develop at any age, and some people with pollen allergy react to kiwi because of similar protein structures.
The test measures specific IgE antibodies to kiwi in a blood sample. A detectable level indicates sensitization, which may or may not be accompanied by symptoms. Because cooked or processed kiwi can behave differently from fresh fruit, the clinical history is an important part of interpretation.
Testing may be considered when someone reports itching, tingling, hives, or swelling after eating kiwi, or when a clinician is evaluating possible cross-reactions with birch pollen or latex. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the result and provide guidance on management.
