Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis. Because different shellfish species contain distinct proteins, a person may react to one type and tolerate another. This panel measures specific IgE antibodies against four representative shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

Understanding shellfish allergy testing

Shellfish allergy testing detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that the immune system produces in response to proteins found in crustaceans and mollusks. The presence of these antibodies suggests sensitization, though sensitization does not always equate to clinical allergy.

This panel evaluates four common shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. Shrimp and lobster are crustaceans, while clams are mollusks. Reactions to one group do not guarantee reactions to the other, so testing multiple species helps clarify which proteins may be problematic.

A blood sample is analyzed in a laboratory, and results are reported as quantitative values. These values are interpreted alongside a person's medical history and symptoms by a qualified healthcare provider.
