Total IgE test is done in cases of :
- Suspected allergies. Common symptoms are: Itching, running nose, sneezing, coughing, diarrhoea, hives
- Suspected parasitic or fungal infections
- Certain autoimmune disorders
- The IgE Total Antibody Serum Test measures the total amount of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. IgE is an antibody type involved in allergic reactions.
- Total IgE test requires a blood sample. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Generally, IgE is found in very small traces in the blood. Elevated levels of IgE can mean that a person has some kind of allergy. An increase in IgE levels can be due to the following reasons:
- Allergic conditions such as asthma, urticaria, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.
- Food allergy.
- Blood-related cancers.
- Infections such as parasitic infection, HIV, tuberculosis, etc.
In contrast, low levels of IgE indicate autoimmune diseases.
However, this particular test does not pinpoint which specific allergen has caused the allergy. For further diagnosis, the healthcare provider may recommend a specific IgE test.
