Sole (rf337) IgE details
What Sole (rf337) IgE shows
Sole is a mild white flatfish eaten pan-fried, baked or in fish dishes. This test measures IgE antibodies specific to sole proteins in your blood to check for allergic sensitization. A positive result can help explain reactions such as hives, swelling, digestive symptoms or breathing problems after eating sole, and fish reactions can be severe. A major fish allergen, parvalbumin, is similar across many species, so sensitization to several fish is common. Fish allergy is distinct from shellfish allergy. A positive result shows sensitization, not necessarily a true allergy, so it needs to be read alongside your symptoms and history.
Tests that include Sole (rf337) IgE
This test is crucial for individuals experiencing symptoms of extrinsic asthma, hay fever, or atopic eczema right after being exposed to certain allergens. These immediate reactions are due to a specific type of antibody known as IgE, which plays a significant role in allergic responses.
