Q: i recently received blood results showing that i'm positive for bilharzia ab igm eia,negative for bilharzia ab elisa igg. high s immunoglobulin e.(230) was discharged from two hospitals not given proper treatment or advice. what step do i take next?

Tests: You can either call the hospital where you had the test done or your primary care if you have one. You may have also information on the test results as to what the next step should be. If you are feeling indeed sick going back to the same facility where you had the test done will be advisable.

Q: what does it mean to have immunoglobulin e, total @ 63 iu/ml? i have been getting allergy shots for years. when the skin test pricks are performed, i am usually allergic to 95% and require shots. i feel that the shots arent working?

: If you have improvement in your symptoms, then you have had a response. The elevation in the IgE is reflective of your allergic antibody response. Discuss other options with an allergist.

Q: i had blood allergy testing and nothing came up as a sensitivity but my immunoglobulin e result was <2. what can this mean? cortisol is 0.9 as well

Inconclusive: High IgE levels may be seen in people with lots of allergies, hit there other causes. People with aited number of allergies can have normal IgE levels also so the test has very low sensitivity for proving or disproving an allergy condition. Specific antigen testing by blood test also can miss allergies. Skin testing may be more sensitive. Discuss with an allergist.

Q: my 3 yr old took an allergy test her immunoglobulin e total was 12 immunoglobulin g qn serum total 1111 they said was high immunoglobulin a 90 means

Immunoglobulins: Ige is the allergic antibody (this was normal). An elevated igg level might simply be if he was fighting an active infection at the time (this is a good sign). Iga protects mucosal membranes (sinus, lungs, GI tract, urinary tract) and his level is normal. Feel reassured that these labs look very good.

Q: immunoglobulin e total is low, what does that mean for me?

Low IgE is normal: Ige is present when you have allergies. A low ige usually is normal and just means you do not have a lot of allergies.

Q: what does elevated esinophils have in common with elevated immunoglobulin e?

Related often: Eosinophils fight off certain bugs like helminths and also are important for allergic reactions. Ige is an antibody which is produced when you are allergic or sensitized to something. People with allergies, asthma, eczema often have high ige and sometimes high eosinophils. If they are very high then some very rare diseases can be considered (hies).

Q: what is the difference between histamine and immunoglobulin e?

Allergy: Histamine is the chemical released by allergy cells that cause itchiness, sneezing, hive - in other words allergy symptoms. Ige is the allergy antibody that binds to allergy cells and will bind to allergens to cause allergy cells to release histamine.

Q: what is the normal immunoglobulin e level?

Each lab's different: Normal ige levels are 0.05% of the total immune globulins. That's pretty low. Each commercial lab establishes its own normal ranges for these values, so you have to look at the range stated on your lab report, but generally speaking, the upper limit of normal for most labs is around 40-70 u/ml. The lower limit of normal is close to zero, often stated as 4. Truly absent ige = immunodeficiency.

Q: help! is 730 a high immunoglobulin e level?

Yes: However, this level is not uncommon in patients with allergic eczema or asthma. It is not at all uncommon to see levels like this in allergic patients.

Question 1

my son is 4 years old. he has skin allergy. immunoglobulin e test.  result shows 429.7 iu/ml. can this be treated. should we need to do any other test?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Elevated serum IG e is a diagnostic marker of immediate-type allergic reactions. Normal serum ige levels are given by the manufacturer as <10 iu/ml for age 0–3 years. Your son's level is above normal range. On a top of it he is symptomatic (skin allergy). Next step to do is a skin prick test to identify what specific allergens he is sensitized to - allergy/immunology referral. Than avoid offenders.
