The IgE Test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood, an antibody produced in response to allergens like pollen, pet dander, and certain foods. High IgE levels often indicate an allergic reaction, helping doctors diagnose and monitor allergies. This test can also aid in determining the effectiveness of allergy treatments and identifying potential allergens. Common triggers that may elevate IgE levels include pollen, dust, mould, foods like nuts and shellfish, and medications like penicillin.

The IgE Test is essential for diagnosing and managing allergic reactions, which occur when the immune system overreacts to harmless substances like pollen or certain foods. High IgE levels signal potential allergies, which can manifest as symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, skin rashes, or breathing difficulties. Left unmanaged, severe allergic reactions can lead to complications like asthma or anaphylaxis. This test is valuable for individuals with unexplained allergy symptoms, those with family histories of allergies, or patients who require allergy treatment monitoring, enabling timely intervention and symptom management.
