After your blood draw in San Mateo, the Shellfish Allergy Test is reported in about 1-3 business days, with all four seafood markers in one document.

Turnaround for the San Mateo Shellfish Panel

The Shellfish Allergy Test is typically reported in about 1-3 business days once the sample reaches the lab. That window covers the measurement of IgE antibodies against four shellfish in a single run. Because the markers are tested together, the report arrives complete rather than in separate parts. Weekends and holidays can add a day, and a sample drawn late in the day may ship the next business morning. Checking your San Mateo portal is the quickest way to see when the panel is finalized. The status usually refreshes as soon as the lab releases the report, so a daily glance is often all it takes.

Most reports arrive well within the estimate, and there is no need to call unless the window passes.

Reading Your San Mateo Shellfish Report

Results appear in your secure online account. The report lists each of the four markers, shrimp, crab, lobster and clams, next to the measured value and the reference range for that seafood. Seeing them side by side makes it easier to spot which shellfish returned a response. Because several markers are included, the document is longer than a single-allergen test but still simple to scan. You can download or print it to keep for your records or share with a clinician. If a marker stands out, note it so you can raise it at a follow-up visit, and the portal also keeps earlier reports on file for comparison.

Why Ranges Vary and Next Steps

Reference ranges for food IgE tests differ between laboratories because of the methods and units used, so a result is best judged against the range printed on your own San Mateo report. A value above the range suggests sensitivity to that shellfish, but it does not by itself diagnose an allergy. With four markers, you may see some inside the range and others outside. Reviewing the findings with a clinician, alongside your symptoms and history, is the most useful next step. Bring the full panel rather than one number so the whole picture is clear, and that context helps turn the values into a practical plan.
