IgE, Total

The total IgE test measures the overall quantity of immunoglobulin E in the blood, not the amount of a specific type. It can be used to detect an allergic response in the body – rather than a specific allergy. This test may compliment the information provided by allergy tests that detect allergen-specific IgE.
