What is Serum immunoglobulin E, IgE ?
The Serum Immunoglobulin E (IgE) test measures the level of IgE antibodies in the blood. IgE is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to allergens, such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, and certain foods. High levels of IgE are often associated with allergic reactions and conditions like asthma, hay fever, and eczema. Clinicians may order an IgE test to: Diagnose allergies: Elevated IgE levels can indicate an allergic response to specific triggers. This test can help identify sensitivities to common allergens, such as food, environmental triggers (like pollen or dust mites), and insect stings. Evaluate asthma: IgE is often elevated in individuals with allergic asthma, where exposure to allergens leads to airway inflammation and difficulty breathing. The test can help determine if allergies are contributing to asthma symptoms. Assess eczema (atopic dermatitis): High IgE levels are often seen in patients with eczema, a skin condition triggered by allergic responses. Identify risk of anaphylaxis: In cases of severe allergies, elevated IgE levels may suggest a heightened risk of anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction. Monitor the effectiveness of allergy treatment: IgE levels can be measured before and after allergy treatments to evaluate their effectiveness in controlling allergic responses.
