11.0 EXPECTED VALUES<br />

The spread of <strong>IgE</strong> values is extremely wide both for subjects with and without allergic disease,<br />

depending also on the type of population, i.e. geographical area, sex and age. Therefore there is a<br />

strong overlapping of total <strong>IgE</strong> levels between atopic and not atopic populations and it is very difficult to<br />

define an upper “limit of normal”. It is recommended that each laboratory establishes its own reference<br />

range for the population of interest. The available literature provides the following information relative to<br />

total <strong>IgE</strong> concentrations in human serum.<br />

Mean: 27.6 KIU/L<br />

Age (years) KIU/L<br />
