About Crab Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Melrose

The test detects immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies that bind to proteins found in crab. IgE is the antibody class most closely associated with immediate allergic reactions, including hives, swelling, and breathing difficulty.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory. Results are reported as a quantitative value that indicates the level of crab-specific IgE present. This value is interpreted alongside a person's medical history and symptoms.
Crab is a crustacean, and reactions to crustacean shellfish such as crab, shrimp, and lobster can overlap. A clinician uses the test result, together with clinical findings, to determine whether a crab allergy is likely.
