An IgE allergy test panel uses a blood sample to determine whether the immune system produces specific antibodies against four common shellfish: shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam. This page explains what the panel measures and how the results are interpreted.

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

Shellfish allergy testing looks for immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that recognize proteins found in crustaceans and mollusks.

The panel measures IgE directed at shrimp, crab, lobster, and clam. Shrimp and lobster are crustaceans, while clams are mollusks; reactions to one group do not always extend to the other, which is why separate allergen components are reported.

A blood sample is drawn and analyzed in a laboratory. The result for each allergen is typically reported as a numerical level, often in kilounits of antibody per liter (kU/L), alongside a class or category. Higher values generally indicate a greater likelihood of clinical sensitivity, but the number alone does not confirm an allergy.

Diagnosis depends on the combination of test results, symptom history, and timing of reactions after eating shellfish. Some people with a positive result tolerate the food, and some with a negative result may still react, so a clinician interprets the panel in the context of the individual's overall presentation.
