Description
IgE Total Antibody Test
This test is an important tool for identifying allergic tendencies and understanding unexplained skin, breathing, or digestive symptoms.
Why It’s Done
| Health Area | IgE’s Role |
|---|---|
| Allergy Detection | Helps diagnose allergic reactions (dust, pollen, food) |
| Skin Disorders | Assesses eczema, hives, and rashes |
| Respiratory Issues | Supports diagnosis of asthma and allergic rhinitis |
| Digestive Symptoms | Helps investigate food sensitivities |

IgE Levels & Interpretation
| IgE Level | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| < 100 IU/mL | Normal IgE levels |
| 100–300 IU/mL | Mild to moderate allergy risk |
| > 300 IU/mL | High IgE – Strong allergic response or infection |
Note : Exact values can vary by lab and patient history. Clinical correlation is essential.
