What is an IgE Test?
An IgE test is a blood test that measures the level of Immunoglobulin E (IgE), an antibody produced by your immune system. It helps assess your body's response to allergens and certain infections.
It is commonly advised for people with symptoms of allergies, such as asthma, eczema, hay fever or skin rashes, and to investigate suspected parasitic infections.
Who should do this test?
The IgE test is recommended for the following groups of people:
- People with a personal or family history of allergies : a genetic tendency towards allergies raises your own risk of allergic conditions.
- People with asthma or eczema : these allergic conditions are often linked to raised IgE levels.
- People with suspected food or environmental allergies : the test helps identify whether your body is reacting to specific allergens.
- People with recurrent parasitic infections : parasitic infestations can drive up IgE levels and need evaluation.
How do I know if I need this test?
Your doctor may advise an IgE blood test when you have symptoms that suggest an allergic reaction. Common signs include:
- Skin rashes : hives, itching or red patches that appear suddenly.
- Sneezing and runny nose : frequent sneezing, blocked or watery nose without a cold.
- Breathing trouble : wheezing, coughing or a tight feeling in the chest.
- Itchy watery eyes : red, irritated or teary eyes on exposure to triggers.
- Swelling : puffiness of the lips, face or eyes after certain foods or contact.
How is the test done?
The IgE test is a simple blood test and needs no special preparation. It is quick and nearly painless.
To prepare for the test:
- Fasting : Fasting is not required for this test.
- Timing : You may give the sample at any time of day.
- Medications : Tell the lab about any allergy or steroid medicines you take.
To give the sample:
- Blood draw : The technician cleans your arm and draws a small blood sample in 1-2 minutes.
- At home or lab : Give the sample at our Pune lab or book a free home visit.
What will be included in the report?
The IgE test report includes the following parameter:
- IgE : measures the level of immunoglobulin E antibodies in the blood, which helps assess allergic responses and certain immune conditions. (Normal Range : 0.0 - 100.0 IU/L)

IgE Test Normal Ranges
| Group | Normal Range |
|---|---|
| Female | 0 – 100 |
| Male | 0 – 100 |
What abnormal IgE results mean
| Result | Meaning | Common Causes |
|---|---|---|
| High IgE | Raised IgE antibodies (a type of protein the body makes during allergic reactions), pointing to an allergic or immune response | Allergic rhinitis (a runny, itchy nose from pollen or dust); asthma (a breathing condition where the airways narrow and tighten); atopic dermatitis (a long-lasting itchy skin rash, also called eczema) |
| Very high IgE | Strongly raised IgE antibodies (allergy proteins in the blood), suggesting a marked allergic or parasitic response | Parasitic worm infection (worms living in the gut that trigger the immune system); severe allergic disease (widespread strong reactions to many triggers); allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis (an allergic lung reaction to a common mould) |
| Normal or low IgE | IgE antibodies (allergy proteins) within the expected range, making an allergic cause less likely | No active allergy (the body is not reacting to allergens at present); non-allergic symptoms (complaints caused by something other than allergy); response to allergy treatment (levels settling after avoiding triggers or taking medicine) |
