Question 1

should i consult an immunologist about low iga (14) and ige levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Low IgA levels may be seen in a multitude of issues, however, selective IgA deficiency is the more common one (other causes include medication induced...)  siga def is an "immunodeficiency" that can lead to increased infections and other problems in some people.  However, some people have no symptoms at all!  the low ige is probably less relevant.  See an immunologist!

Question 2

ige level is 8 that is low should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Cannot be too low: Serum IgE levels cannot be too low. Your result is fine.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 3

my prick test of dust allergy is positive and my ige level is 498 and lymphocyte low 38.2 and neutrophil high 42.3 what does mean ?

Accepted Answer

There is a differenc: If the 42.3 and 38.2 are percents of your total white blood cell (WBC) count they're fine. What did your board certified allergist tell you? If you didn't see one that's why you should have. Doing or ordering a test is  technical, appropriate interpretation, explanation, and treatment is the extensively taught, practiced and honed skill of a specialist.

Question 4

is a lab result of 48% for lymphocytes and 9.7 bun/creatnin of any concern. low vitamin d/25 hdroxy 21.5....ige level of 497. thank you?

Accepted Answer

Out of context: Lab values out of context = difficult to interpret. "Abnormal" may be irrelevant, even normal for an individual.Experts disagree on low end of normal 25-OH vit D(some say 20 some 30).IgE can be high for many reasons, most allergic.BUN/Cr relevance depends on what BUN and Cr are - if normal, low BUN/Cr can be malnutrition, liver problem, or OK. Lymphocyte% relevance depends on wbc, neutrophil% etc.

Question 5

what does a high ige level mean?

Accepted Answer

Allergy/asthma: Ige is an antibody that is commonly elevated in people with a tendency towards allergic disease. While there are other potential causes, the most common culprits are asthma, allergic rhinitis (hayfever), and eczema.

Question 6

what could cause high ige levels?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: An elevated ige is usually associated with allergies. There are other rare conditions that may cause ige to be extrememly elevated.

Question 7

if my ige level is high what am i suffering?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: High ige levels are generally a marker for allergic potential. Therefore, the higher your ige, the more likely you are to have allergic diseases such as hayfever, asthma, or eczema.

Question 8

ige level is above 630 is this alarming situation?

Accepted Answer

No: People vary tremendously in IgE levels. There's still little knowing what it means. How does Junior feel?

Question 9

can you do anything to lower ige levels? is there any medication out there for this?

Accepted Answer

Yes but why?: Unless you have an illness which demands the treatment, there is no reason to lower the ige level since the options are not devoid of major side effects.

Question 10

i have raised ige level 117.6 please tell me its management?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Nothing it depends on symptoms. Talk to the provider who ordered the test
