Immunoglobulin E (IgE Total)

The Immunoglobulin E (IgE Total) test measures the total level of IgE antibodies in the blood, which are primarily involved in allergic reactions and responses to parasitic infections. IgE plays a key role in the body’s immune defense by binding to allergens and triggering histamine release from mast cells and basophils.This test is useful for evaluating allergic conditions, guiding allergy diagnosis, and monitoring treatment effectiveness in allergic patients. Understanding total IgE levels can help healthcare providers develop appropriate management strategies for individuals with allergic diseases or symptoms suggestive of allergies.
