# Allergen Profile, Food−Shellfish

> This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in shellfish, such as shrimp, crab, or lobster. It helps show whether symptoms like hives, swelling, or nausea after eating seafood are likely the result of an immune system reaction. This information helps distinguish a potential food allergy from other types of food sensitivities or digestive problems. However, a positive result indicates sensitization and does not predict the severity of a future allergic reaction or confirm a diagnosis on its own.
