2. Test Overview & Methodology
Quantitative serum typing of immunoglobulin D and immunoglobulin E is a specialized immunology test employed to identify isolated deficiencies, hyper‑IgE syndromes, and immune dyscrasias. This high‑resolution assay utilising agarose gel electrophoresis with immunofixation delivers definitive clonality and quantitative data, essential for the diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and hyper‑IgD syndrome.
| Feature | DNA Labs UAE IgD & IgE Typing | Standard Single Analyte ELISA / RID |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | High‑resolution agarose gel electrophoresis + immunofixation (IFE) | Solid‑phase enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or radial immunodiffusion (RID) |
| Diagnostic Precision | 99.9% sensitivity; detects monoclonal bands, IgD/IgE clonality | Moderate sensitivity; may miss low‑abundance paraproteins |
| Turnaround Time | Next‑day report (sample by 9 AM) | 3–5 working days typical |
| Price (AED) | 1,500 | 1,000–1,200 (often lacks IgD component or reflex) |
3. Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“IgD and IgE typing provides a nuanced window into humoral immunity. As a General Practitioner, I use this assay to differentiate between allergic, atopic, and primary immunodeficiency aetiologies in patients presenting with recurrent sinopulmonary infections or unexplained elevated IgE levels. Accurate laboratory correlation is vital for appropriate specialist referral and long-term management.”

Critical Medication Advisory
⛔ Medication Safety Warning
Do not discontinue prescribed immunosuppressants, corticosteroids, or biologic therapies without explicit consultation with your managing specialist. Abrupt discontinuation can lead to severe disease rebound, adrenal insufficiency, or anaphylactoid reactions. If you experience symptoms of severe infection, such as high fever, rigors, or confusion, seek immediate emergency care.
Exclusion Criteria & Specimen Rejection Guidelines
- Sample rejection: Grossly hemolysed or lipemic sera; specimens not stored or transported refrigerated or frozen.
- Recent IV immunoglobulin therapy: Test should be deferred for at least 3 weeks post‑infusion to avoid falsely elevated quantitative readings.
- Active haemolytic anaemia: Free haemoglobin interference may invalidate immunofixation patterns and clonal interpretation.
- If you experience signs of severe infection, anaphylaxis, or neurological changes, seek emergency medical care immediately — do not wait for test results.
4. Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What conditions does this IgD and IgE typing test help diagnose?
This serum test precisely quantifies and characterises immunoglobulin D and E to diagnose and monitor primary immunodeficiency disorders, hyper‑IgE syndrome, and IgD‑plasma cell dyscrasias. The immunofixation electrophoresis methodology identifies clonal restrictions that standard ELISA or RID methods may fail to detect.
2. How should I prepare for the blood draw and ensure accurate results?
No fasting or special preparation is required. Schedule your home collection and ensure the phlebotomist collects a full 2 mL serum separator tube. Avoid vigorous exercise immediately before the draw and inform us of any recent immunoglobulin infusions or blood transfusions.
3. Is this test covered by my UAE health insurance plan?
Most UAE health insurance policies cover IgD/IgE typing under immunology and immunodeficiency diagnostics. Our billing team verifies coverage with your insurer via WhatsApp, submits pre‑approval requests, and provides a detailed invoice with ICD‑10 codes D80.8, D80.3, and D84.9 to facilitate seamless reimbursement.
