Order Lobster Allergy Test | Shellfish AllergyA lobster allergy test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies your immune system produces in response to lobster proteins.

About Lobster Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Doral
Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies in adults, and lobster is a frequent trigger within the crustacean family.
Lobster allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in lobster—such as tropomyosin—as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against them. Those antibodies attach to immune cells, and on later exposure they can trigger symptoms that range from hives and itching to swelling, digestive upset, or breathing difficulty.
A blood test detects the presence and concentration of lobster-specific IgE. Results are reported as a numeric value that a clinician interprets alongside your symptom history, since a positive result alone does not always mean a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not fully rule one out.
Crustaceans such as lobster, crab, shrimp, and crayfish share similar proteins, so a reaction to one often raises concern about others. Mollusks like clams, oysters, and scallops are a separate group and may or may not be tolerated, which is why testing is typically reviewed as part of a broader shellfish evaluation.
