About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in Norwich
The Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster uses a blood sample to assess sensitization to four distinct shellfish allergens.
Specific IgE testing detects antibodies that the immune system may produce in response to particular proteins. For shellfish, the proteins tropomyosin and arginine kinase are common triggers, and these allergens can appear across multiple species.
Because crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster belong to different groups—crustaceans and mollusks—a person may react to one type and tolerate another. Testing each allergen separately helps clarify which specific shellfish are more likely to provoke an immune response.
Results are reported as quantitative IgE levels and are interpreted alongside a person's clinical history. A positive result indicates sensitization, which does not always equate to a clinical allergy, while a negative result can help rule out certain triggers.
