About the test

Total IgE is an overall measure of antibodies of this class, associated, among other things, with allergic reactions. It does not show which specific allergen the body reacts to.

Elevations occur in conditions other than allergy, and a normal result does not exclude all allergic diseases. To clarify the cause of symptoms, the doctor may order targeted tests and compare them with the symptom history.

Why it is ordered

  • Measure the total IgE level.
  • Complement investigation of suspected allergic disease when indicated.

How to prepare

Before taking the test, ask the laboratory about preparation and specimen collection requirements. Tell your doctor about medicines and recent treatment. Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own.
