Use

This test is used to detect specific IgE antibodies to mackerel. It is part of the diagnostic process for allergic reactions, helping to identify if mackerel is the cause of an allergic response in patients exhibiting symptoms such as hives, abdominal pain, or respiratory distress after eating this type of fish. By confirming the presence of specific IgE to mackerel, clinicians can establish a more accurate diagnosis of fish allergy and differentiate it from other potential allergens, which is essential for proper management and dietary recommendations.
