What it measures
- Codfish-specific IgE antibodies — The main marker. Your immune system makes these antibodies if it reacts to codfish proteins.
- Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, sometimes included for context.
- Other fish-specific IgE — Sometimes tested alongside cod to see if you react to other fish, like salmon or tuna.
Preparation
No fasting or special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally before the blood draw.
Results and what they mean
Results are reported as a number that shows the level of codfish-specific IgE in your blood. A higher number may suggest a greater likelihood of allergy, but results must be interpreted by a clinician along with your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
