About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in South Salt Lake
Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults and can cause reactions ranging from mild to severe.
Shellfish includes two major groups: crustaceans such as crab, shrimp, and lobster, and mollusks such as clams, oysters, and mussels. Allergic reactions are most often triggered by proteins in these animals, and sensitivity to one type does not always mean sensitivity to another.
This test uses a blood sample to measure specific IgE antibodies for crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. IgE is an antibody produced by the immune system that can bind to allergens and trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals during an allergic reaction.
Results are reported as quantitative values that indicate the level of specific IgE for each shellfish. A healthcare provider interprets these results alongside symptoms and medical history to determine whether an allergy is present and to guide further evaluation.
