Use

The Allergen, Food, Clam test measures the level of IgE antibodies specific to clam allergens using a quantitative ImmunoCAP fluorescent enzyme immunoassay. It is primarily used to support the diagnosis and management of allergic responses through the detection of clam-specific IgE, which can indicate an allergic sensitization to clams. The results assist healthcare providers in correlating the clinical history and in vivo response to allergens when planning patient management. This test is part of broader allergy diagnostics typically used when food allergies are suspected, providing a quantitative measure that helps to substantiate clinical findings and guide appropriate interventions.
