Order Clam Allergy Test | Shellfish AllergyA clam allergy is an immune reaction to proteins found in clam tissue.

This profile is used alongside a clinical history to help evaluate suspected shellfish allergy.
About Clam Allergy Test | Shellfish Allergy in Lynn
The Clam Allergy Profile is a blood test that detects IgE antibodies directed against clam proteins.
IgE antibodies are a class of immunoglobulins that can bind to specific allergens. When a person is sensitized to clam proteins, their immune system may produce IgE antibodies that recognize those proteins. The Clam Allergy Profile quantifies the level of clam-specific IgE in a blood sample.
Clams belong to the mollusk group of shellfish, which also includes mussels, oysters, and scallops. Crustaceans such as shrimp, crab, and lobster are a separate group. Because shellfish proteins can differ between these groups, a clam-specific IgE test provides information about sensitization to clam proteins rather than to all shellfish.
Results from this test are interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of symptoms, exposure history, and other findings. A detectable IgE level indicates sensitization, which does not by itself confirm a clinical allergy. Conversely, a low or undetectable level does not entirely exclude the possibility of a reaction.
