A member asked:

What can cause high total ige besides an allergy!? doctors can't help me with my symptoms

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Several: Depends on how elevated it is, some high values do not mean anything. However one can have a blood disorder producing a high level of ige, parasite infections may also cause ige to be elevated. You should check with an allergist to check for a mast cell disorder as well.
