Overview
IL-6 test is a blood test that measures the level of Interleukin-6 in the blood. IL-6 is a protein that is produced by cells in the body in response to inflammation. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from the patient and analyzing it in the laboratory. The results of the test can help diagnose and monitor conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.
Who should do this test?
Patients with autoimmune diseases: IL-6 is a cytokine that plays a key role in the immune systems response to infection and inflammation. Patients with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, often have elevated levels of IL-6. Monitoring IL-6 levels can help physicians identify disease activity and guide treatment decisions.
Cancer patients: Elevated levels of IL-6 have been associated with the development and progression of several types of cancer, including breast, lung, and prostate cancer. IL-6 testing can be useful in monitoring cancer patients response to treatment or identifying cancer recurrence.
Patients with sepsis or severe infections: IL-6 is an important biomarker of the bodys response to infection and inflammation. Elevated IL-6 levels can indicate the severity of the infection and help guide treatment decisions. Testing IL-6 levels in patients with sepsis or severe infections can help physicians determine the appropriate course of treatment and monitor the patients response to therapy.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
