Catfish (f369) IgE details
What Catfish (f369) IgE shows
Catfish is a freshwater fish eaten fried, grilled and in many regional dishes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to catfish proteins to check for allergic sensitization. It can help when you have had hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing symptoms after eating fish. A positive result shows that your immune system has made IgE to catfish. Many fish share a similar muscle protein, so people sensitized to one fish are often sensitized to others, although this varies. IgE shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so the result needs to be read against your symptoms and history.
