Abalone (f346) IgE details
What Abalone (f346) IgE shows
Abalone is a sea snail eaten as shellfish, belonging to the mollusc group along with clams, oysters and squid. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to abalone in your blood. It is used when reactions such as hives, swelling, stomach upset or breathing symptoms follow eating abalone or other shellfish. A positive result suggests your immune system is sensitized to abalone proteins, and shellfish within the mollusc group can cross-react. A positive result shows sensitization, meaning your immune system has made IgE to this allergen, but not necessarily an allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
