Order Codfish Allergy Test | Fish AllergyA codfish allergy test measures the amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood that react specifically to codfish proteins. Because cod is a common food allergen, this test can help clarify whether a person's symptoms are related to an immune response triggered by eating cod or other fish.
About Codfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in Lafayette
The test works by detecting IgE antibodies that bind to codfish proteins.
When a person with a codfish allergy eats or comes into contact with cod, the immune system may produce IgE antibodies directed at specific proteins in the fish. These antibodies attach to cells that release histamine and other chemicals, which cause symptoms such as hives, swelling, stomach upset, or breathing difficulty.
A blood sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory. The lab measures the level of codfish-specific IgE in the sample. Results are reported as a numerical value, often alongside a reference range that indicates whether the level is low, moderate, or high.
This test is one part of a broader evaluation. A healthcare professional interprets the result together with the person's medical history, symptoms, and other findings. A positive result does not by itself confirm a clinical allergy, and a negative result does not always rule one out.
