Jack Mackerel/scad (f60) IgE details
What Jack Mackerel/scad (f60) IgE shows
Jack mackerel, also called scad, is a saltwater fish eaten fresh, dried, or canned, particularly in Asian and Mediterranean cooking. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to jack mackerel proteins to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing problems that occur soon after eating it. Fish allergens such as parvalbumin are similar across many species, so people sensitized to one fish are often sensitized to others. Reactions to fish can also be caused by histamine in spoiled fish or by the Anisakis parasite. A positive result shows sensitization, which needs to be read against your symptoms.
