C6 Complement Test
Introduction
The C6 Complement Test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to evaluate the functionality of the complement system, which is an essential part of the immune response. This test measures the levels of the C6 complement protein in the serum, aiding in the diagnosis of various complement system disorders. Understanding the results of this test can help healthcare providers develop effective treatment strategies for patients.
What the Test Measures
The C6 Complement Test specifically measures the concentration of the C6 protein, which plays a vital role in the complement cascade—a series of reactions that enhance the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear microbes and damaged cells from an organism. Abnormal levels of C6 can indicate underlying health issues, including autoimmune diseases and infections.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Patients experiencing symptoms related to immune system dysfunction, such as:
- Frequent infections
- Autoimmune disorders
- Unexplained inflammation
- Family history of complement system disorders
should consider the C6 Complement Test. It is particularly important for individuals with symptoms that suggest a compromised immune response.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of complement system disorders.

- Helps in monitoring disease progression or response to therapy.
- Provides valuable information for personalized patient care.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the C6 Complement Test will typically be available within 2-3 weeks. A healthcare provider will interpret the results, taking into account the patient’s symptoms and medical history. Normal levels indicate a functioning complement system, while abnormal levels may require further investigation or intervention.
