High Ige levels
I was diagnosed with allergetic rhinitis recently
My wbc count was 13000 and S ige levels went to 3500(Normal range of 0-100).. Also absolute easonophil count was 1040(normal 30-350)
I read from the internet source that such a high ige level can be a signal of cancer...or other fatal disease
Is it true??
Can the ige level be brought to normal through medication...? How much time will it take?
