# Sardine

> This test measures the amount of specific antibodies in your blood that react to proteins found in sardines. It helps show whether your immune system views this fish as a threat, which is useful for investigating symptoms like hives, swelling, or stomach upset after eating seafood. This measurement assists doctors in distinguishing a specific sensitivity to sardines from other food allergies or digestive conditions. However, the test result alone cannot predict exactly how severe a future allergic reaction might be.
