    What is Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    The Interleukin-6 (IL 6) test is a blood test that measures the levels of interleukin-6, a cytokine protein in the body. IL-6 is a cytokine with a broad range of biological activities, including roles in inflammation, immune response, hematopoiesis, and the acute-phase response. It is produced by a variety of cells, including T-cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and adipocytes. IL-6 is often considered a pro-inflammatory cytokine, although it also has important roles in immune regulation and tissue repair.

    The IL-6 test is used for patients with severe infections (e.g., sepsis, COVID-19), autoimmune or inflammatory diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease), chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g., psoriasis, spondyloarthritis), cancers (e.g., multiple myeloma), and those undergoing treatments like CAR-T therapy or monoclonal antibody therapy where cytokine release syndrome (CRS) may occur. It is also useful in monitoring therapeutic responses in patients on IL-6 inhibitors or biologic therapies. Elevated IL-6 levels indicate systemic inflammation, disease activity, or poor prognosis.

    Individuals in Bangalore who wish to assess for inflammation in their body may schedule an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) test at home.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Parameters

    The IL 6 test determines only one parameter: the levels of interleukin 6 in the blood.

    IL-6 is a protein involved in inflammation and immune system regulation. It is produced by various cells, including immune cells (T and B lymphocytes, macrophages), fibroblasts, and liver cells. IL-6 helps the body fight infections by triggering the production of acute-phase proteins in the liver and supporting the activation of B cells, which are essential for antibody production.

    IL-6 interacts with specific receptors on cells to send signals that regulate immune responses. While IL-6 plays a vital role in defence against infections and healing, high levels can lead to chronic inflammation. Abnormal IL-6 levels may indicate infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or even cancer progression.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Preparation

    Preparing for an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test at home is hassle-free with these steps:

    • Prerequisites : Fasting is not required for the IL 6 test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : The IL 6 test can be performed at any time of the day, depending on convenience.

    • Who Should Get an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test? : An IL-6 test is advised for individuals with chronic inflammation, autoimmune conditions, or severe infections. It helps monitor diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, infections, and certain cancers.

    • Cautions Before Taking an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test : Inform your doctor about medications or recent infections, as these may affect results.

    Why Take the Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    An IL-6 test helps assess inflammation levels in the body and detect immune system imbalances. It is useful in diagnosing and monitoring various medical conditions:

    • Suspected Severe Inflammation or Infection : If there is clinical suspicion of systemic inflammation, infection, or sepsis, IL-6 can provide information on the severity and help guide treatment.

    • Autoimmune Flare-ups : If a patient with a known autoimmune condition like RA or lupus is experiencing a flare-up, an IL-6 test can help assess the level of inflammation.

    • Monitoring Disease Activity or Treatment Response: For patients undergoing treatment for chronic inflammatory or autoimmune conditions, IL-6 levels can be used to gauge treatment effectiveness and disease control.

    • Guide Treatment Decisions: Supports doctors in adjusting therapies for inflammatory and immune-related conditions.
