What Does the IgE Test Show?
IgE (immunoglobulin E) is an antibody your immune system makes when it reacts to an allergen. A high level of IgE to a specific allergen can show that your body is sensitive to it.
Total IgE vs specific IgE
- Total IgE test: measures the overall amount of IgE in your blood. A high level can point to an allergic tendency, but it doesn’t say what you’re allergic to.
- Specific IgE allergy panel: measures IgE to particular allergens, such as dust mites, pollen or foods. This helps find your individual triggers.
The test can help identify reactions to things like:
- Dust mites
- Pollen
- Pet dander
- Mould
- Certain foods (see food allergy)
- Things that set off a runny, sneezing nose (see allergic rhinitis)
No single test finds every allergy. The doctor reads your results together with your symptoms and history. A positive result alone doesn’t always mean that thing causes your symptoms, which is why expert interpretation matters.
How the Test Is Done
- The doctor advises the test after your clinical assessment.
- A small blood sample is taken from your arm. It takes a few minutes.
- The sample is sent for testing.
- The doctor explains your results and builds your plan.
Preparation: Please don’t stop any medicine unless the doctor tells you to.
