Immunoglobulin E (IgE) details
Description
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the antibody class primarily responsible for allergic reactions and defense against parasites. A total IgE test measures your overall IgE level rather than reactivity to any specific allergen, and elevated levels generally support an allergic or, in some cases, parasitic process, though total IgE alone can't identify the specific trigger — for that, allergen-specific IgE testing (to particular pollens, foods, or other allergens) is needed. Total IgE can also be elevated in certain other conditions, including some immune disorders and skin conditions like eczema.
