The Immunoglobulin E (IgE Total) test is a laboratory analysis that measures the total concentration of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in a patient\'s blood. IgE is a type of antibody that plays a central role in allergic reactions and immune responses to parasites. Elevated IgE levels are often associated with allergic disorders and certain parasitic infections.The IgE Total test serves several diagnostic purposes:Allergy Diagnosis: IgE is involved in immediate hypersensitivity reactions, such as those seen in allergies to foods, pollen, pet dander, or insect stings. Measuring total IgE levels can help identify and confirm allergic conditions.Asthma Evaluation: Elevated IgE levels are common in individuals with asthma, particularly those with allergic asthma. Monitoring IgE levels can assist in asthma management.Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): IgE levels may be increased in individuals with atopic dermatitis, a common skin condition that often co-occurs with allergies.Parasitic Infections: In some parasitic infections, such as helminth infections, IgE levels can be elevated. The IgE Total test can aid in diagnosing these infections.Scheduling the Immunoglobulin E (IgE Total) test through our online platform provides a convenient way to access this valuable diagnostic tool. It assists healthcare professionals in identifying and confirming allergic conditions, evaluating asthma and atopic dermatitis, and diagnosing parasitic infections, ultimately leading to tailored treatment plans and improved patient care.
