About Shrimp Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Mission
The Shrimp Allergy Test evaluates sensitization to shrimp proteins using a blood sample.
IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system when it identifies a substance, such as a food protein, as a threat. A blood test can detect shrimp-specific IgE and provide objective information about immune sensitization.
Shrimp belongs to the crustacean group of shellfish, which also includes crab, lobster, crayfish, and prawns. Reactions to shellfish can range from mild to severe, and crustacean allergies tend to persist rather than resolve over time.
Results are interpreted by a healthcare provider alongside symptoms and medical history. A positive result indicates sensitization, while a negative result may help rule out shrimp allergy as a cause of symptoms.
