Halibut (f303) IgE details
What Halibut (f303) IgE shows
Halibut is a large white flatfish eaten in many cuisines. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to halibut proteins to check for allergic sensitization to this fish. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, vomiting or breathing problems after eating halibut, or from breathing in cooking vapors. Many people allergic to one fish react to others, because a protein called parvalbumin is similar across many species. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily allergy, so it needs to be read against your symptoms and history, and an allergist may advise on further evaluation.
