About Catfish Allergy Test | Fish Allergy in Severn
Catfish is a widely consumed freshwater fish, and allergy to it falls under the broader category of fish allergy.
Fish allergy is caused by an immune response to specific proteins in fish muscle, such as parvalbumin. Catfish contains its own distinct set of allergenic proteins, so a reaction to catfish does not automatically mean every other fish will cause the same response.
This test detects IgE antibodies in a blood sample that are specific to catfish proteins. IgE is the antibody class associated with immediate allergic reactions, which can include hives, swelling, digestive symptoms, or breathing difficulty.
A blood-based IgE test is one way to evaluate a suspected catfish allergy. Results are interpreted alongside a person's history of reactions and any other testing a clinician considers appropriate.
