About Codfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in Durham
The codfish allergy test is a blood-based immunoassay that detects allergen-specific IgE directed against cod proteins.
IgE antibodies bind to specific proteins found in cod. When the immune system has been sensitized to those proteins, the blood contains measurable IgE against them, which the test quantifies or reports as a class score.
Because the test uses a blood sample rather than a skin prick, it does not require exposure to the allergen on the skin and is not affected by antihistamines in the same way skin testing can be. Results are typically reported as negative, equivocal, or positive, sometimes with a numerical value that a clinician interprets alongside the patient's history.
A positive result indicates sensitization to cod proteins, not necessarily a clinical allergy. Diagnosis depends on the combination of test results, symptoms, and medical evaluation, and some individuals may tolerate certain fish while reacting to others.
