Screens for IgE reactions to common seafood and shellfish allergens. This panel tests for IgE antibodies to eight seafood and shellfish species. Shellfish allergy is one of the most common food allergies and can cause severe reactions including anaphylaxis. This test distinguishes between different types (shrimp, crab, lobster, clam, oyster, scallop, codfish, and salmon) to identify your specific triggers. Shellfish allergy is typically lifelong. **Clinical use:** Allergy-specific IgE testing helps identify what your immune system is reacting to so you can avoid triggers, plan immunotherapy, and reduce symptoms. ## Who should order it? Anyone with recurrent allergy symptoms (rash, sneezing, GI distress, breathing difficulty) who wants to identify specific triggers without elimination diets or skin testing. ## Biomarkers measured - Shrimp IgE - Crab IgE - Lobster IgE - Clam IgE - Oyster IgE - Scallop IgE - Codfish IgE - Salmon IgE ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $114.99 | $120.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.
