Shrimp IgE

Absent / Not detected. No significant shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This result makes IgE-mediated sensitization to shrimp less likely, but it does not completely rule out allergy if there is a strong reaction history.

Detected, very low / clinical relevance undetermined. A very low level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. The clinical relevance of results in this range is uncertain. This result may reflect very low sensitization, cross-reactivity, or a finding that is not clinically meaningful. Interpret together with symptoms and allergy history.

Low. A low level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This suggests sensitization may be present, but the result alone does not confirm a true shrimp allergy. Clinical history is important.

Moderate. A moderate level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This increases the likelihood of clinically relevant sensitization, especially if symptoms occur after eating shrimp.

High. A high level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This supports significant sensitization and may be clinically relevant, especially when consistent with reaction history.

Very high. A very high level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This strongly supports sensitization and may be associated with a higher likelihood of clinical reactivity, but severity cannot be predicted from IgE level alone.

Very high. A very high level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This is consistent with marked sensitization. The result should be interpreted with allergy history and clinician guidance.

Very high. An extremely high level of shrimp-specific IgE was detected. This indicates marked sensitization, but the test does not predict reaction severity on its own. Clinical history and specialist interpretation are important.
