ALLERGENS FOOD, SHRIMP, IgE F24

The ALLERGENS FOOD, SHRIMP, IgE F24 is a certified laboratory blood test that measures shrimp-specific IgE antibodies to help diagnose sensitisation or allergy to shrimp and other crustaceans. Performed on a venous blood sample collected at your Dubai home by a trained phlebotomist, the assay quantifies shrimp-specific IgE levels to support clinical evaluation of suspected seafood allergy. Accurate sIgE results assist physicians in risk assessment, dietary guidance, and decisions about further testing such as skin prick tests or supervised oral food challenges.

• Shrimp-specific IgE (sIgE)
• Total IgE
• Tropomyosin (crustacean allergen) specific IgE

• After an immediate allergic reaction (hives, swelling, breathing difficulty) following shrimp or seafood ingestion
• Recurrent unexplained urticaria or angioedema suspected to be food-related
• Before performing an oral food challenge to confirm or rule out shrimp allergy
• When planning dietary restrictions or reintroduction of seafood
• In patients with asthma or severe atopy where seafood allergy may increase risk of severe reactions

• Accurate shrimp-specific IgE measurement from an accredited lab
• Convenient at-home blood collection across Dubai by trained staff
• Helps guide clinical management, avoidance strategies, and specialist referral
• Reduces need for immediate hospital visits for initial diagnostic testing
• Results suitable for clinicians to assess anaphylaxis risk and need for further testing

• At-home venous blood sample collection by a certified phlebotomist
• No fasting required prior to the test
• Inform the phlebotomist/ordering physician about immunotherapy or biologic treatments (e.g., omalizumab) and recent severe allergic reactions
• Provide valid Emirates ID and consent for home collection and lab processing
