Fish Allergy Panel

Attend your appointment and one of our experienced nurses or phlebotomists will collect your blood sample. If your test also includes another sample, such as urine or stool, we will provide the necessary collection kit and clear instructions.

Results are typically available within 2 working days. Some individual markers may take longer if they require specialist laboratory processing. We will normally wait until the full profile is complete before issuing your reviewed results.

This test may be particularly useful for: Fish allergy; Food allergy; Suspected seafood allergy; Oral allergy syndrome; Previous allergic reaction to fish.

This test is commonly chosen when investigating: Itching after eating fish; Mouth or throat tingling; Lip or tongue swelling; Hives; Facial swelling; Wheezing; Difficulty breathing; Vomiting after eating fish. Blood tests are only one part of an assessment, and results should be considered alongside your symptoms and medical history.

This test may help assess or investigate: Fish allergy; IgE-mediated food allergy; Sensitisation to common fish species. An abnormal result does not necessarily confirm a diagnosis, but it may help guide further assessment.
