Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies, and they can be triggered by creatures that look quite different from one another. This panel measures specific IgE antibodies to four shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

About Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster in Pooler

The Shellfish Allergy Test - Crab, Shrimp, Clam, Lobster is a blood-based panel that assesses sensitization to four distinct shellfish allergens.

Shellfish fall into two broad categories: crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks such as clams. Allergic reactions to shellfish are typically mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies, which the immune system produces after sensitization to specific proteins found in these animals.

This panel tests for IgE antibodies directed against crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory. Results are reported as antibody levels for each individual allergen, which can help characterize a person's sensitization profile.

Elevated IgE antibody levels indicate sensitization but do not by themselves confirm a clinical allergy. A comprehensive evaluation considers symptom history, exposure patterns, and, when appropriate, additional testing under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
