Measuring IgE levels can help determine if a person may have an allergic disease including asthma, IgE can also be raised when a person has a parasitic infection.
The Immunoglobulin E (IgE) Blood Test is used to measure the blood's immunoglobulin E (Total IgE) levels to assess the likelihood of experiencing allergic reactions.
Please do not exercise prior to testing. It is best that your blood is taken in a rested state.
