    What is an Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test?

    The Immunoglobulin E Total (IgE-Total) test measures the total quantity of IgE antibodies in the bloodstream. Typically, antibodies are produced by the immune system to counteract harmful substances such as viruses and bacteria. However, when you have an allergy to something like pollen or dust, your body wrongly identifies it as harmful and produces IgE antibodies against it. Thus, an IgE test can help identify whether you have an allergy. Normally, blood contains only small amounts of IgE antibodies. Increased IgE antibody levels may be a sign that the body is having an allergic reaction to something it considers to be an allergen. High IgE levels can also be a sign of a parasitic infection or certain immune system disorders.

    Living in Hyderabad and suffering from allergy symptoms such as a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, or related problems? You can conveniently get an IgE test done at home with Orange Health Labs. This test can determine if you have an allergy, facilitating accurate diagnosis and treatment.

    Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test Parameters

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

    These antibodies are produced when the immune system encounters allergens, which are substances that can trigger allergic reactions. If an individual has an allergy, their immune system responds to the allergen by producing IgE antibodies. Common allergens include mould, dust, pollen, animal dander, foods like nuts and shellfish, and medications such as penicillin. The IgE antibodies then attach to cells that release chemicals in the blood, causing an allergic reaction. Symptoms of this reaction usually affect the skin, lungs, nose, and throat. Therefore, an IgE blood test is crucial for detecting allergies and starting appropriate treatment.

    Clinical Significance

    During childhood, IgE levels typically increase and stabilise during the teenage years. IgE plays a role in mediating allergic reactions. Patients with conditions such as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and atopic dermatitis often show moderately elevated IgE levels. However, elevated total IgE can also be present in conditions unrelated to allergies, including:

    • Autoimmune diseases

    • Parasitic infections

    • Immunodeficiency states

    • Hodgkin's disease

    • Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

    • IgE myeloma

    • Sezary syndrome

    Discussing your Total IgE test results with your doctor is crucial to understand the causes of elevated IgE in your particular health condition.
