About Total IgE
Total IgE is a marker used in allergy testing and immune function assessment.
The reasons for low IgE
Low total IgE may indicate reduced immune response or an absence of allergic activity. It is not typically a health concern unless linked to immune deficiencies.
The reasons for elevated IgE
Elevated IgE is often due to allergies, asthma, or chronic infections. Managing allergen exposure and immune modulation therapies can help control levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low IgE?
Low IgE levels rarely cause issues but may indicate an inability to mount a strong allergic or immune response.
Excess total IgE can trigger severe allergic reactions, chronic asthma, eczema, and increased susceptibility to infections.
