    What is Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) test is a blood test that measures how much of the cytokine protein IL-6 is in your body. IL-6 plays a crucial role in managing the body’s immune response, inflammation, blood cell production, and its reaction to injury or infection. Many different types of cells in your body make IL-6, including immune system cells (T-cells), infection-fighting cells (macrophages), and even fat cells. While IL-6 is known for causing inflammation, it also has helpful roles in regulating the immune system and aiding tissue repair.

    The IL-6 test is often used to evaluate individuals with severe infections, such as sepsis or COVID-19, and those suffering from autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used for monitoring chronic inflammatory diseases like psoriasis, certain types of cancer, and to assess people receiving treatments that might lead to cytokine release syndrome (CRS), such as CAR-T therapy or monoclonal antibody therapy. When IL-6 levels are elevated, it can indicate active disease or inflammation and might suggest a worse prognosis for the patient.

    People living in Delhi who need to check for inflammation or other related health issues can book the Interleukin-6 (IL 6) test from the convenience of their home.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Parameters

    The IL-6 test measures just one parameter: the level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in your blood.

    IL-6 is a protein involved in inflammation and the regulation of the immune system. It is created by different types of cells, such as immune cells (like T and B lymphocytes, and macrophages), fibroblasts, and liver cells. IL-6 helps the body fight infections by stimulating the liver to produce acute-phase proteins, which are key to the immune response, and by activating B cells, which are necessary for producing antibodies.

    IL-6 interacts with specific receptors on cells, helping control immune system functions. Although IL-6 is crucial for defending against infections and promoting healing, excessive IL-6 levels can cause long-lasting inflammation. Unusual IL-6 levels can indicate infections, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or even cancer progression.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Preparation

    Preparing for the IL-6 (Interleukin 6) test at home involves simple steps given below:

    • Prerequisites : Fasting is not necessary for the IL-6 test, so there are no special restrictions before taking the test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : You can schedule the IL-6 test at any time of the day, depending on your convenience and availability.

    • Who Should Get an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test : The IL-6 test is typically recommended for individuals with long-term inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or severe infections. It is helpful in managing conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, infections, and certain cancers.

    • Cautions Before Taking an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test : Be sure to inform your doctor about any medications you are currently taking or recent infections, as they might influence the results of the test.

    Why Take the Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    The IL-6 test plays a crucial role in identifying inflammation levels and diagnosing immune system disorders. It is widely used for managing various health conditions:

    ● Detecting Severe Infections or Inflammation : When there is clinical suspicion of systemic inflammation, sepsis, or infection, the IL-6 test can provide essential information about the severity and guide medical decisions.

    ● Autoimmune Flare-Ups Assessment : For those with conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, the IL-6 test can help evaluate inflammation during flare-ups and guide adjustments in care plans.

    ● Tracking Treatment and Disease Control : The IL-6 test is beneficial for patients receiving therapy for chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, helping to monitor how effective the treatment is in managing the condition.

    ● Assisting in Treatment Optimization : Supports doctors in personalising therapies for immune and inflammation-related issues.

    • Good service .Instant visits. Only thing is the TAT(time) for some test is like too high, e.g CBC by other labs comes in 2 hrs whereas here with orange lab it is set for 6 hrs. An achievable & relaistic value here would be TAT max 4 hrs from time of collection of sample for the result of CBC to arrive. They should revise their TAT accordingly on app and website.
