About Crab Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Huntley
This test uses a blood sample to measure IgE antibodies directed against crab.
Specific IgE antibodies are produced by the immune system when it recognizes a substance as a threat. In shellfish allergy, these antibodies bind to proteins found in crab and related crustaceans, and their presence in the blood can indicate sensitization.
The test requires a blood draw, which is performed by a trained phlebotomist. No skin pricking or exposure to the allergen is involved, so the procedure carries no risk of triggering an allergic reaction.
Results are typically reported as a numerical value that reflects the level of crab-specific IgE. A higher value suggests a greater likelihood of clinical allergy, but the result must be interpreted alongside a person's symptoms and history, as sensitization does not always equal a reaction.
