TOTAL IGE

The total immunoglobulin E (IgE) test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood. IgE antibodies are involved in allergic reactions and play a role in defending against parasitic infections. This test is used to diagnose and monitor allergic conditions, such as asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis, as well as parasitic infections. Elevated total IgE levels can indicate allergic responses or parasitic infections. The total IgE test provides valuable information for identifying allergens, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the effectiveness of allergy management strategies. It helps improve the quality of life for individuals with allergic conditions.
