A serum IgE test measures the level of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. IgE is primarily associated with allergic reactions and responses to parasitic infections. Elevated IgE levels can indicate allergic conditions such as asthma, hay fever, eczema, and food allergies. It can also signal parasitic infections or certain immunological disorders. The test helps diagnose and manage allergic diseases by identifying heightened immune responses to specific allergens, guiding treatment plans, and monitoring the effectiveness of interventions like allergen avoidance or immunotherapy.
Serum IgE is a laboratory test that measures the concentration of immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in the blood. IgE is a type of antibody produced by the immune system, primarily involved in allergic reactions and defense against parasitic infections. When the immune system encounters allergens—such as pollen, pet dander, or certain foods—it produces IgE antibodies specific to those substances. These antibodies bind to allergens and trigger the release of histamines and other chemicals from mast cells and basophils, leading to allergic symptoms like itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing.
Elevated serum IgE levels can indicate a range of allergic conditions, including asthma, hay fever, eczema, and food allergies. High IgE levels can also suggest parasitic infections or certain immune system disorders, such as hyper-IgE syndrome. Measuring serum IgE helps healthcare providers diagnose and manage allergic diseases, identify specific allergens causing reactions, and monitor the effectiveness of treatments like allergen avoidance, medications, or immunotherapy.
