    What is an Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test?

    An Immunoglobulin E Total (IgE-Total) test measures the overall amount of IgE antibodies present in the blood. Antibodies are typically produced by the immune system to fight off harmful agents like viruses and bacteria. However, in cases of allergies to substances such as pollen or dust, the body mistakenly identifies these as threats and generates IgE antibodies in response. Therefore, an IgE test can reveal if you have an allergy. Under normal conditions, the blood contains minimal IgE antibodies. Elevated IgE levels suggest that the body is responding to a perceived allergen and triggering an allergic reaction. High IgE levels can also indicate a parasitic infection or certain immune system disorders.

    If you reside in Mumbai and are experiencing allergy symptoms like a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, or similar issues, you can have an IgE test conducted at home through Orange Health Labs. This test can help identify if you have an allergy, enabling proper diagnosis and treatment.

    Immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) Test Parameters

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

    IgE antibodies are produced in response to allergens, which are substances that can cause an allergic reaction. When someone has an allergy, the immune system reacts to the allergen by creating IgE antibodies. Common allergens include pollen, dust, mould, certain foods (like nuts and shellfish), animal dander, and medications (such as penicillin). Following their binding to cells that release certain chemicals into the blood, these antibodies cause an allergic response. Usually, this response causes symptoms in the skin, lungs, nose, and throat. Thus, an IgE blood test is essential for identifying allergies and initiating timely treatment.

    • Cautions Before Taking an IgE Test

    Allergies to foods, pets, pollen, or other irritating substances can be identified with the use of an IgE test. If you suffer from any of the following allergy symptoms, your doctor could advise an IgE test:

    • Runny or stuffy nose

    • Eczema

    • Headache

    • Sore throat

    • Sneezing

    • You have a skin condition such a rash or hives.

    Clinical Significance

    IgE levels usually rise during childhood and then stabilise during the teenage years. IgE acts as a mediator in allergic reactions. Patients with conditions like allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis often have moderately elevated IgE levels. However, high total IgE levels can also be seen in various conditions unrelated to allergies, including:

    • Parasitic infections

    • Sezary syndrome

    • Immunodeficiency states

    • Hodgkin's disease

    • Autoimmune diseases

    • Bronchopulmonary aspergillosis

    • IgE myeloma

    Therefore, it's essential to discuss your Total IgE test results with your doctor to understand the causes of elevated IgE in your specific health condition.
