Total IgE

A Total IgE test measures the amount of IgE (immunoglobulin E) in the blood. Immunoglobulins are antibodies (proteins) produced by plasma cells (specific immune cells) when the body recognizes bacteria, viruses, other microorganisms, or any other unknown substances as harmful foreign antigens (allergy-causing substances or allergens) to the immune system.

Normally, IgE is present in very small amounts in the blood. It belongs to a class of immunoglobulins that includes five types of immunoglobulins: IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, and IgE. The rise in the production of IgE is seen in cases of response to allergens in asthma or certain parasitic infections. Other allergens can include plant pollen, latex, pet dander, mold, eggs, peanuts, bee venom, strawberries, and other allergens substances.

Interpreting Allergy Screen, Total IgE and Phadia Top results


Interpretations

* If your total IgE level is increased, it usually indicates that you are suffering from one or more allergies. Sometimes, increased levels are also associated with parasitic infections. * An elevated IgE indicates an allergic process but does not indicate what a person is allergic to. In general, the greater the number of things a person is allergic to, the higher is the IgE level.
