Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild itching to severe, life-threatening anaphylaxis. Because shellfish encompass a diverse group of marine animals, a person may react to one type and tolerate others, or react to several. This profile measures specific IgE antibodies against four commonly consumed shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

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

Specific IgE testing detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to proteins found in shellfish. Elevated levels of IgE directed at crab, shrimp, clam, or lobster suggest that an individual may be sensitized to those particular allergens.

Shellfish are divided into two broad categories: crustaceans, which include shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks, which include clams, oysters, and mussels. This panel covers three crustaceans and one mollusk, allowing for a more detailed look at reactivity patterns across both groups.

Results from this panel are interpreted alongside a person's clinical history and symptoms. A positive IgE result alone does not confirm a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not entirely rule out the possibility of a reaction. Testing should be ordered and evaluated in consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
