Allergen, Individual-Food Cucumber kakdi (Cucumis sativus) F244

The Allergen, Individual-Food Cucumber Kakdi (Cucumis sativus) F244 is a targeted laboratory assay that detects sensitisation to cucumber by measuring specific IgE antibodies against Cucumis sativus in the blood. The service is offered as a Lab‑at‑Home test in Dubai and across the UAE, with a trained phlebotomist collecting a small blood sample at your residence for laboratory analysis.

Results provide quantitative IgE values and an interpretive class (negative to high), helping clinicians and patients identify cucumber as a potential trigger for symptoms such as oral itching, hives, gastrointestinal upset or more severe reactions. This convenient, lab‑validated option supports informed dietary decisions, allergy management, and timely referral to specialists when required.
