Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild oral itching to severe systemic responses. 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 common shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

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

Specific IgE testing detects antibodies that the immune system may produce in response to proteins found in shellfish. Elevated IgE levels indicate sensitization, which can support a clinician's evaluation when combined with a person's symptom history.

The panel includes individual allergen components for crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. Testing each species separately helps clarify whether a reaction is broad across multiple shellfish or limited to a particular type, since tropomyosin and other proteins vary in concentration and structure among species.

Results are reported as quantitative IgE levels for each allergen. A qualified healthcare provider interprets these values alongside clinical history, because sensitization on a blood test does not always correspond to a clinical allergy.
