About Swordfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergies in Towson
Swordfish allergy is a type of food allergy that occurs when the immune system mistakenly identifies proteins in swordfish as harmful.
When a person with a swordfish allergy eats or comes into contact with swordfish, the immune system may produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies. These antibodies bind to mast cells and basophils, and upon subsequent exposure, they trigger the release of histamine and other chemicals, leading to allergy symptoms.
Symptoms of a swordfish allergy can range from mild to severe and may include hives, itching, swelling of the lips or tongue, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, or anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention.
The Swordfish Allergy Test measures the level of specific IgE antibodies in the blood. Results are typically reported as a numerical value or a class score, which can help a healthcare provider assess the likelihood of an allergy. However, test results should be interpreted in the context of a person's medical history and symptoms.
