The Immunoglobulin E (IgE), Total test measures the overall level of IgE antibodies in the blood. IgE plays a central role in allergic responses and is involved in reactions to allergens such as foods, pollen, dust mites, and environmental triggers.
This test is commonly used to help evaluate allergic conditions, asthma, or atopic disorders. Elevated IgE levels may suggest an allergic tendency or ongoing allergic inflammation, while normal levels do not rule out specific allergies. Results are often interpreted alongside clinical symptoms or specific allergy testing.
