Action Required: Once your order confirmation arrives, please reply to the email with your date of birth. This helps us process your order quickly and avoid any delays.
Venous Test
This test requires a venous blood sample collected by a trained phlebotomist—it cannot be done with a finger-prick at home. You'll receive a collection kit containing everything the phlebotomist needs.
Your Options:
- Find a Local Clinic: Contact our support team and we'll help you locate a nearby clinic with qualified staff.
- Make Your Own Arrangements: You're welcome to arrange collection with any qualified phlebotomist or clinic of your choice.
Please Note: The phlebotomy service (blood draw) is not included in the test price. Clinics typically charge £20–£50 for this service. Please confirm the fee when booking your appointment.
Results show specific IgE levels (kUA/L) classified from Class 0–6:
Class 0: Negative (<0.35)
Class 1: Low (0.35–0.69)
Class 2–3: Moderate (0.70–17.49)
Class 4–6: High (≥17.50)
Note: Cross-reactivity between fish species is common due to the shared protein parvalbumin. However, some people are allergic to specific fish only. Interpret results with your healthcare provider.
No Fasting Required: You can eat and drink normally before your blood draw.
Antihistamines: You can continue taking antihistamines—they do not affect IgE blood test results.
Steroids: Long-term oral steroids may lower IgE levels. Discuss with your doctor if you're on steroid medication.
Timing: Collect your sample Monday–Wednesday to ensure it reaches the lab promptly. Avoid posting before bank holidays.
Medical Disclaimer
This test measures IgE antibodies to fish species. Results indicate sensitisation but should be interpreted alongside your clinical symptoms and medical history. Fish allergies can cause severe reactions including anaphylaxis.
Do not use this test to confirm safety of eating fish. For suspected severe allergies or history of anaphylaxis, we strongly recommend consulting an allergy specialist before making dietary changes.
