What this test is

This test measures specific IgE antibodies in the blood that are associated with an allergic response to hake. It is one of several tools a clinician may use when evaluating a possible fish allergy.

What it measures

  • Hake-specific IgE antibodies — Reflects the level of IgE antibodies that bind to hake proteins in the blood.
  • Total IgE (sometimes included) — Provides a general measure of allergic antibody levels, though it is not specific to hake.

What the test involves

A healthcare professional collects a small blood sample, usually from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have had symptoms after eating hake or other fish, such as hives, stomach upset, or breathing trouble. It can help support a broader allergy evaluation when combined with your history and other findings.

Preparation

Preparation is generally minimal, but you should follow the specific instructions provided by the collection laboratory. This may include avoiding certain medications or fasting, depending on the lab.

How results are reported

Results are typically reported as a numerical value that the laboratory compares to its own reference range. Reference ranges can vary between laboratories, so your clinician will interpret your result in the context of your symptoms and history.

Before you go

  • Whether any medications you take could affect the test
  • If fasting or other preparation is required
