Your request stays private, and you choose where the specimen is collected. Because individual sites vary, double-check the lab's own guidance on preparation, timing, and cost.
What it measures
- Hake-specific IgE antibodies — Antibodies made by the immune system that target hake proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels in the blood; sometimes included for context.
- Other fish-specific IgE — Tests for related fish such as cod or salmon may be added to check for cross-reactivity.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is required. Tell your clinician about any medications you take, especially antihistamines, as they may affect some allergy tests.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a level of hake-specific IgE, often with a reference range. A clinician interprets the result alongside your symptoms and history; a positive test alone does not always mean a true allergy. This is general information, not medical advice.
