    What is an Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test?

    An Immunoglobulin E Total (IgE-Total) test determines the total level of IgE antibodies in the blood. Usually, antibodies are created by the immune system to combat harmful substances such as viruses and bacteria. However, when you are allergic to something (like pollen or dust), your body also considers it as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against it. Thus, an IgE test can help determine whether you have an allergy. Normally, the blood contains small amounts of IgE antibodies. Elevated levels of IgE antibodies may indicate that the body is reacting to something it perceives as an allergen and causing an allergic reaction. High IgE levels can also occur when a person has a parasitic infection or certain immune system disorders.

    If you live in Bangalore and are experiencing allergy symptoms such as a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, or other related issues, you can get an IgE test done at home with Orange Health Labs in Bangalore. This test can help determine whether you have an allergy, thus allowing for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

    Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test Parameters

    The IgE Total test has a single parameter: it measures the total amount of IgE antibodies in blood.

    IgE antibodies are produced in reaction to allergens, which are substances that can trigger an allergy. When an individual has an allergy, the immune system reacts to the allergen by producing IgE antibodies. Common allergens include dust, pollen, mould, animal dander, foods (such as nuts and shellfish) and medications (such as penicillin). The antibodies produced in response to these allergens then bind to cells that release certain chemicals in the blood that lead to an allergic reaction. This reaction commonly involves symptoms affecting the nose, throat, skin, and lungs. Therefore, getting an IgE blood test is crucial for identifying the presence of allergies and starting prompt treatment.

    Clinical Significance

    IgE levels typically increase during childhood and stabilise in teenage years. IgE serves as a mediator in allergic responses. Patients with conditions such as allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis often have moderately elevated IgE levels. However, elevated total IgE levels can also occur in several conditions unrelated to allergies. These include:

    • Parasitic infections

    • Immunodeficiency state

    • Autoimmune diseases

    • Hodgkin's disease

    • Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

    • IgE myeloma

    • Sezary syndrome

    Therefore, discussing the results of your Total IgE test with your doctor is crucial in understanding the causes of elevated IgE in your specific health condition.
