Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild to severe. This panel measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood to four frequently encountered shellfish: shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam.

About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in Eureka

Specific IgE testing helps identify sensitization to particular allergens.

The immune system can produce IgE antibodies in response to proteins found in shellfish. When those proteins are encountered again, the antibodies may trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals, producing allergy symptoms.

This panel uses a blood sample to measure IgE antibodies directed against shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam. Each allergen is reported separately, which can help distinguish which shellfish may be relevant to a person's symptoms.

Results are interpreted alongside a person's history and other clinical findings. A positive result indicates sensitization, not necessarily a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not entirely rule out a reaction.
