Description:
Tree Nut and Peanut Allergy Blood Test (Labcorp)
The Tree Nut and Peanut Allergy Panel looks for allergic reactions to a variety of nuts. This test measures IgE antibodies and provides numerical results. Nut allergies are among the most common types of food allergies. Allergies can cause a reaction in people who are exposed to products containing the oils of certain nuts as well as the nuts themselves. Common symptoms of nut allergy include nausea, difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain or cramps, shortness of breath, and in severe cases anaphylaxis which can be life-threatening.
This panel includes:
- Almond
- Brazil Nut
- Cashew
- Hazelnut/filbert
- Peanut
- Pecan
- Walnut
This tree nut and peanut allergy test can be ordered by anyone to help determine if they have an allergic reaction to one or more types of nuts. We also offer a Peanut Component Allergy Test which looks for allergic reaction to specific proteins in peanuts. For additional testing options, please see our Allergy Testing Category.
Turnaround for this test is typically 4-6 business days.
