Test Name Result Unit Biological Ref.Interval Method
Note:
1. Normal levels of IgE do not rule out possibility of IgE dependent allergies as the diagnostic sensitivity of the test depends upon elapsed
time between exposure to an allergen and testing, patient age and affected target organs.
2. No close correlation has been demonstrated between severity of allergic reaction and IgE levels.
Comments:
Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is the most important trigger molecule for allergic information. The level of IgE is low during the first year of
life, gradually increases with age and reaches adult levels after 10 years. As IgE is a mediator of allergic response, quantitative
measurement can provide useful information for differential diagnosis of atopic and non-atopic disease. Patients with atopic diseases like
Allergic asthma, Allergic rhinitis & Atopic dermatitis have moderately elevated IgE levels.
Increased Levels :
Atopic/Non-atopic allergy, Hyper IgE syndrome, Parasitic infections, IgE Myeloma, Pulmonary Aspergillosis, Immunodeficiency states
& Autoimmune diseases.
