What is Immunoglobulin E (IgE), Serum?

The Immunoglobulin E (IgE) test measures the level of IgE antibodies in your blood. IgE antibodies are primarily involved in allergic reactions and play a key role in your body's response to allergens like pollen, dust mites, and certain foods.

Why is this test important?

Elevated IgE levels can indicate an allergic condition, asthma, or parasitic infections. This test helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor allergic diseases, guiding appropriate management and treatment strategies.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
