is ige elevated in lupus
Anti-IgE IgG autoantibodies have also been observed in SLE patients with lymphoadenopathy, articular involvement and anti-DNA antibodies (9). In addition, increased IgE serum levels were observed in children of mothers with lupus, regardless of the presence of allergic disease in the mothers (34).Another study showed elevated IgE levels in male SLE patients compared with female patients (35).o date, few studies have evaluated the IgE levels in SLE patients (4,6,7). High total IgE serum levels have been associated with disease activity and nephritis in adult SLE patients (4,12-15). However, to our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the association of IgE with juvenile SLE (JSLE).
