About Catfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in Ballwin

What the catfish allergy test measures

The test detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind specifically to catfish proteins. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, so its presence can indicate sensitization to catfish.

A blood sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory. Results are reported as a quantitative value that reflects the level of catfish-specific IgE, which a clinician interprets alongside your symptom history and other findings.

This test is specific to catfish and does not screen for all fish. Because reactions can occur to more than one species, a clinician may recommend additional testing if your history suggests broader fish sensitivity.
