C4 Complement near me in New Delhi
Available at an affordable price in New Delhi with Tata 1mg labs, the C4 Complement, the C4 Complement test is a blood test that assesses levels of Complement Component 4 (C4), a protein involved in the immune system's complement cascade. This test is helpful in detecting autoimmune diseases, infections, and other conditions where there is dysfunction in the immune system.
The C4 Complement test is especially helpful in identifying and monitoring autoimmune disorders, where changes in C4 levels are indicative of disease flare-ups or remission phases. Doctors may also advise the C4 blood test to individuals who have unexplained symptoms of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, such as joint pain, renal issues, skin rashes, recurrent infections, or if you have a family history of autoimmune diseases. It is also used to assess disease activity and effectiveness of treatment in patients with SLE or other conditions that involve complement system dysregulation.
Overnight fasting (8 to 12 hours) is preferred for this test, however not mandatory.
