About Catfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in Albuquerque
Catfish is a freshwater fish consumed in many cuisines, and allergy to it falls under the broader category of fish allergy.
Fish allergy involves the immune system reacting to proteins in fish muscle, such as parvalbumin. Catfish contains its own distinct allergenic proteins, so a person may react to catfish even if they tolerate other fish, or vice versa.
This test uses a blood sample to measure IgE antibodies specific to catfish. Elevated levels suggest sensitization, which a healthcare provider interprets alongside symptoms and history.
Seafood allergy is often divided into fish and shellfish categories. Catfish is a fish, not a shellfish, and cross-reactivity between the two groups is generally limited.
