Order Lobster Allergy Test | Shellfish AllergyA lobster allergy test measures the amount of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood that react to lobster proteins. This type of blood test helps identify an immune response consistent with a shellfish allergy.
About Lobster Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Albuquerque
Lobster is a crustacean, and crustaceans are among the most frequent triggers of shellfish allergy.
Shellfish allergy involves an immune response to proteins found in certain marine animals. Crustaceans such as lobster, crab, shrimp, and crayfish are common sources of these proteins, and reactions can range from mild to severe.
An IgE blood test detects antibodies that the immune system may produce against lobster proteins. Because a blood sample is used, the test does not require exposure to the food itself, and it can be performed alongside other allergen tests.
A positive result indicates sensitization to lobster proteins, but it does not by itself confirm that a clinical reaction will occur. Results are interpreted together with a person's history and other findings, and a qualified healthcare professional can explain what the result means for an individual.
