    What is an Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test?

    An Immunoglobulin E Total (IgE-Total) test is used to measure the total level of IgE antibodies in the blood. Usually, the immune system creates antibodies to fight off harmful substances like viruses and bacteria. However, if you are allergic to something like pollen or dust, your body also sees these as harmful and produces IgE antibodies in response. This means an IgE test can help determine if you have an allergy. Normally, there are only small amounts of IgE antibodies in the blood. Elevated levels of IgE antibodies can indicate that the body is reacting to something perceived as an allergen and causing an allergic reaction. High levels of IgE can also occur due to a parasitic infection or specific immune system disorders.

    If you're in Delhi and dealing with allergy symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, or other related issues, Orange Health Labs offers an at-home IgE test. This test can help diagnose whether you have an allergy, allowing for the appropriate treatment.

    Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test Parameters

    The IgE Total test focuses on a single parameter of measuring the total amount of IgE antibodies present in the blood.

    These antibodies are generated in response to allergens, substances that can provoke an allergic reaction. When a person has an allergy, their immune system produces IgE antibodies in reaction to the allergen. Common allergens comprise of animal dander, dust, mould, pollen, foods like nuts and shellfish, and medications like penicillin. These antibodies then bind to cells that release certain chemicals into the blood, producing an allergic reaction. This reaction usually manifests as symptoms in the nose, throat, skin, and lungs. Hence, an IgE blood test is vital for identifying allergies and beginning prompt treatment.

    Clinical Significance

    IgE levels typically increase during childhood and stabilise in the teenage years. IgE serves as a mediator in allergic responses. Conditions such as allergic asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis often result in moderately elevated IgE levels. However, elevated total IgE can also be associated with various non-allergic conditions, including:

    • Parasitic infections

    • Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

    • Immunodeficiency states

    • Autoimmune diseases

    • Hodgkin's disease

    • IgE myeloma

    • Sezary syndrome

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