Clam IgE

Clam IgE


The Clam IgE blood test measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies produced in response to clam allergens. Elevated IgE levels may indicate an allergy to clams, which can cause symptoms such as skin reactions, digestive discomfort, or breathing difficulties. This test helps confirm suspected shellfish allergies and supports accurate diagnosis and management.
