What is Total IgE?

Measures the total amount of IgE antibodies in the blood. Elevated levels suggest an allergic condition, parasitic infection, or certain immune disorders.

Why is this test important?

Total IgE is a screening marker for atopic conditions (eczema, asthma, allergic rhinitis). Normal IgE does not rule out allergy. Very high levels may suggest parasitic infection or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
