About Mackerel Allergy Test | Fish Allergies in Ithaca
The Mackerel Allergy Test measures IgE antibodies directed against mackerel proteins.
IgE antibodies are part of the immune system's response to allergens. When a person is sensitized to mackerel, these antibodies can trigger symptoms after the fish is eaten or sometimes after handling or cooking it.
A blood sample is used for this test, which avoids the need for exposing the person directly to the allergen. The result is reported as a level that indicates whether mackerel-specific IgE is present and how strongly it is detected.
Mackerel is one of several fish that can cause allergic reactions. Because fish allergens can cross-react, results should be interpreted alongside a person's history and any other testing ordered by a healthcare professional.
