Shellfish allergies are among the most common food allergies in adults, and reactions can range from mild to severe. This panel measures specific IgE antibodies against four frequently consumed shellfish: crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster.

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

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

Specific IgE antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system in response to substances it identifies as threats. When a person is sensitized to shellfish proteins, IgE antibodies can bind to them and trigger the release of chemicals such as histamine, which produce allergy symptoms.

This panel tests for IgE directed against crab, shrimp, clam, and lobster. Each allergen is reported separately, so a result may show reactivity to one shellfish, several, or none. Sensitization does not always correspond to clinical symptoms, and a healthcare provider interprets results alongside a person's history and other findings.

Shellfish allergy differs from fish allergy, and the two are not interchangeable. Crustaceans such as crab, shrimp, and lobster and mollusks such as clams belong to separate groups, though this panel includes representatives of both. A blood sample is collected at a laboratory, and results are typically available within one to three business days.
