Test Details

The SERUM IGE test measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in your bloodstream. IgE is an antibody produced by the immune system in response to allergens or substances that trigger allergic reactions. This test helps diagnose and monitor allergic conditions and assesses the body's immune response to allergens.

Blood Sample: A healthcare provider will collect a blood sample, typically from a vein in your arm, using a needle and a syringe or a specialized blood collection tube.

Laboratory Analysis: The blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. There, the concentration of IgE is measured.

Fasting or special preparation is usually not necessary for the SERUM IGE test. You can generally eat and drink as usual before the test.

You may feel a brief pinch or discomfort when the needle is inserted to draw the blood sample. Afterward, there might be some mild bruising or soreness at the site, but this is typically temporary.

Normal results for the SERUM IGE test vary based on age, gender, and individual factors. The reference range is typically established by the laboratory performing the test.

Allergic Sensitivity: Elevated IgE levels may suggest an allergic reaction to specific allergens.

Allergic Conditions: High IgE levels are associated with conditions like asthma, allergic rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis.

Immune Disorders: In some cases, elevated IgE levels may indicate immune system disorders.

The SERUM IGE test is a routine blood test and is generally safe. Risks are minimal and may include:

Mild bruising at the blood sample site.

Rarely, fainting or lightheadedness during or after the blood draw.

The SERUM IGE test may also be known as:
