Test Name: Total IgE (Immunoglobulin E) Test

Purpose:
The Total IgE test measures the overall level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood. IgE is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to allergens, infections, or certain immune system disorders. Elevated levels of IgE can indicate allergic reactions, asthma, parasitic infections, and other immune-related conditions. The test helps diagnose and manage allergic conditions and assess immune system function.

Conditions Associated with Elevated IgE Levels:

• Allergies: Such as food allergies, pollen, dust mites, mold, and pet dander.
• Asthma: High IgE levels are often seen in allergic asthma.
• Parasitic Infections: IgE can be elevated in response to parasitic worms.
• Immune Disorders: Such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, and other hypersensitivity conditions.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:

• Fasting is not required for the Total IgE test. You can eat and drink normally before the test unless otherwise instructed by your healthcare provider.

Preparation:
