Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Test

Measures total IgE in serum.

Measures

Total IgE in serum.

Why it matters

IgE is the antibody class involved in immediate allergic responses and in responses to some parasites.

Note what this is and isn't: total IgE measures the overall amount, not what it's directed against. It doesn't identify which substances someone reacts to — that requires specific IgE testing against individual allergens, which is a different test.

Suits

People whose practitioner has requested total IgE as part of a broader assessment.
