A shellfish allergy can turn an ordinary meal into a serious medical event, and the proteins responsible are not always obvious on a menu. This panel measures immunoglobulin E antibodies against four of the most common shellfish allergens, providing objective information that a symptom history alone cannot supply.

About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in San Luis

Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies in adults, and it tends to persist for life rather than resolve with age.

The panel tests for specific IgE antibodies to shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam. These crustaceans and mollusks share some allergenic proteins, notably tropomyosin, which is why reactions can occur across multiple species even when only one has been eaten.

A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory. The resulting antibody levels are reported alongside a reference range; elevated results suggest sensitization, but the diagnosis depends on how those results align with a person's clinical history.

Shellfish allergy should not be confused with shellfish intolerance or with iodine allergy. The distinction matters because avoidance advice and emergency planning differ considerably depending on which condition is actually present.
