A shellfish allergy test measures the amount of allergen-specific IgE antibodies in the blood. This panel screens for sensitivity to four common shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies, and it tends to persist for life rather than resolving in childhood.

Shellfish fall into two broad groups: crustaceans, which include shrimp, crab, and lobster, and mollusks, which include clams, mussels, oysters, and scallops. This panel covers three crustaceans and one mollusk, so it can help identify reactivity across both categories.

An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies a shellfish protein as a threat and produces immunoglobulin E antibodies against it. Those antibodies bind to cells that release histamine and other chemicals, producing symptoms that may include hives, swelling, stomach upset, or difficulty breathing.

A blood test detects shellfish-specific IgE without exposing a person to the food itself, which makes it a useful option when a reaction history is unclear or when skin testing is not appropriate. Results are reported as a numerical level and should always be interpreted alongside a person's symptoms and clinical history.
