About Crab Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Albuquerque
Crab allergy testing helps identify an immune response to crab proteins through a blood sample.
The test detects IgE antibodies, which are produced by the immune system when it mistakenly identifies a substance such as crab protein as harmful. Elevated crab-specific IgE can support a diagnosis of crab allergy when considered with a person's symptoms and history.
Crab is a crustacean, and reactions to crab are part of the broader shellfish allergy category. Some people react to multiple types of shellfish, while others react to only one. Testing can help clarify which specific shellfish proteins trigger a response.
Results are interpreted by a healthcare provider alongside clinical history. A positive result alone does not always confirm an allergy, and a negative result does not entirely rule out the possibility of a reaction. Follow the lab's instructions for sample collection and preparation.
