When does a doctor order TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA )?

TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) is often ordered as part of allergy evaluation panels when patients have sneezing, wheeze, itchy skin, or unexplained chronic symptoms. Doctors may use it with skin prick or specific IgE tests to help diagnose or monitor asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, or parasitic infections.

Who should get TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) done in Lucknow?

The rich, Mughlai Awadhi cuisine of Lucknow, high in ghee, red meat, and fried preparations, combined with rising alcohol use and obesity, contributes to fatty liver disease. Hepatitis A and E also appear during monsoon water contamination, affecting areas such as Chowk and Aminabad. Regular liver testing benefits: regular alcohol drinkers, individuals with BMI above 28, anyone on long-term medication including statins or anti-TB drugs, people with a personal or family history of hepatitis B or C, those with type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome, and all adults above 40 in annual preventive panels. In Lucknow, residents of Nishatganj, Aliganj, and similar areas with sedentary lifestyles and calorie-dense diets face particularly elevated metabolic liver risk.

What conditions can TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) help diagnose?

Elevated or very low levels can reflect immune disorders, medications, or infections. A family history of allergies may prompt earlier or repeat testing to guide care.

What do TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) results mean?

ALT above 56 U/L or AST above 40 U/L signals hepatocyte stress. The pattern matters: ALT greater than AST typically suggests NAFLD or viral hepatitis. An AST:ALT ratio above 2 points to alcoholic hepatitis. High ALP with normal transaminases suggests bile duct disease rather than liver cell damage. Low albumin alongside high bilirubin indicates serious loss of liver function.

How often should TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) be repeated?

Adults with no liver risk factors and a previously normal result: annually. Patients with NAFLD or treated hepatitis: every 6 months. Patients on hepatotoxic medication: baseline before starting, then at 1 month, 3 months, and every 6 months during treatment. Patients with active liver disease: at intervals specified by their gastroenterologist.

What happens after TOTAL IGE ( PHADIA ) results are ready?

You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.
