Interleukin-6 near me in Vadodara

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein produced by the immune system when there is inflammation or infection. The IL-6 test measures how much of this protein is in the blood. Elevated IL-6 levels can indicate that the body may be responding to inflammation, infection, or certain underlying conditions. These may include autoimmune disorders and some types of cancer.

Doctors may suggest a Interleukin-6 test to find the cause of symptoms like fever, fatigue, or unexplained inflammation. It also helps monitor how well treatments for these conditions are working. Because IL-6 levels can change quickly, this test gives useful information about the body’s current inflammatory state.

Avoid taking biotin for at least 8 hours before sample collection. Inform the doctor about all medications and supplements currently being taken, as some of them may affect the test results and may require discussion with the doctor regarding possible adjustments before the test.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly.
