C7 Complement Test
Introduction to the C7 Complement Test
The C7 Complement Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess the integrity of the complement system, a key component of the immune system. This test measures the levels of the C7 protein, which plays a crucial role in the immune response, particularly in the opsonization and clearance of pathogens. Understanding the functionality of the complement system is essential for diagnosing various autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
What the C7 Complement Test Measures
This test specifically measures the concentration of the C7 complement protein in the blood. Low levels of C7 can indicate complement system disorders, which may lead to increased susceptibility to infections and autoimmune diseases.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as recurrent infections, unexplained inflammation, or autoimmune disorders may benefit from the C7 Complement Test. Risk factors include a family history of complement deficiencies or autoimmune diseases.
Benefits of Taking the C7 Complement Test
