Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild itching to severe, life-threatening events. Because different shellfish species contain distinct proteins, a person may react to one type and tolerate another. This panel measures specific IgE antibodies against four representative shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

Specific IgE testing helps identify sensitization to particular shellfish proteins.

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

This panel uses a blood sample to measure IgE antibodies directed at crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. Each allergen is reported separately, which can help distinguish which shellfish species may be involved in a reaction.

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