A positive Total Immunoglobulin E indicates that the Total Immunoglobulin E value is excessive, suggesting that an allergic or infectious disease may be present.
Total immunoglobulin E is a type of immunoglobulin found in human serum and plasma. Normally, the amount of this globulin in the body is very low. A positive test result indicates a high level of Total Immunoglobulin E antibodies, which may be caused by the body’s exposure to allergens or certain diseases.
Exposure to some allergens causing allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic bronchitis and other conditions may lead to a positive total immunoglobulin E. There are also some diseases that can lead to a positive total immunoglobulin E, such as acute hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma and other diseases.
Total immunoglobulin E is not usually used as a separate diagnostic indicator. If the test is positive, it is recommended to consult the rheumatology and immunology department or related departments in time, and to combine the results of other tests with the doctor’s guidance to make a clear diagnosis and timely treatment.
