Description
Total IgE Test
The Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) Test measures the overall level of IgE antibodies in your blood. IgE is produced by the immune system in response to allergens such as pollen, dust, certain foods, or insect stings. Elevated IgE levels may indicate allergic reactions, asthma, or certain immune system disorders.
Why This Test is Done:
-
Detect and monitor allergic conditions
-
Investigate causes of asthma, eczema, or recurrent allergic symptoms
-
Support diagnosis of immune-related disorders
How It Works:
A small blood sample is taken and analyzed for IgE levels. While this test can suggest the presence of an allergy, it does not identify the specific allergen—further testing may be required.
Sample Requirement: Blood sample
Reporting Time: Same day
No special preparation is usually needed unless advised by your doctor.
