About the Test

The Shellfish Allergy Panel measures immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies produced in the blood in response to certain shellfish allergens. This panel measures immune responses to clam, crab, lobster, and shrimp.

PLEASE NOTE

This test reports the presence of IgE(s) antibodies to shellfish, but the result by itself cannot confirm the diagnosis of an allergy. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider. They will review your results along with your medical history, signs and symptoms, medications, and any other test results. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose an allergy and prescribe medication, if needed.
