    What is Complement 3 (C3) & Complement 4 (C4) Level Test?

    A C3 C4 Complement test examines the concentration and efficiency of C3 and C4 proteins in the blood, essential components of the complement system. This system enhances immune responses by identifying threats and clearing away damaged cells. Complement proteins function in a chain-like manner, where one activates another to amplify immune defence.

    Medical professionals recommend this test when investigating immune disorders or tracking chronic conditions. Abnormal levels of these proteins may point to an ongoing health issue. Unlike antibodies that specifically target infections, complement proteins act broadly, attacking harmful agents regardless of prior exposure. Autoimmune diseases, where the body mistakenly harms its cells, often necessitate complement testing.

    This diagnostic tool helps identify conditions such as lupus, vasculitis, rheumatoid arthritis, and kidney inflammation. It can also clarify unexplained immune reactions, frequent infections, or swelling. Some individuals may have inherited complement protein deficiencies, making them more prone to infections.

    For residents in Gurgaon, booking a C3 C4 Complement test at home is a hassle-free process, offering quick sample collection and reliable results.

    Complement 3 (C3) & Complement 4 (C4) Level Test Parameters

    This test measures the blood levels of C3 and C4 proteins, which play a central role in immune defence and regulation.

    The complement system is made up of nearly 60 proteins, including a core group labelled C1 through C9. Among these, C3 and C4 are the most commonly evaluated, as they contribute significantly to immune responses.

    One of their key functions is to improve immune efficiency by making blood vessels more permeable, ensuring white blood cells can reach affected areas and fight infections. Deviations in C3 and C4 levels may signal immune dysfunction or autoimmune disorders.

    A deficiency in C3 or C4 may indicate lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or immune system deficiencies, while elevated levels may be linked to persistent infections, chronic inflammation, or other underlying conditions. When irregularities in these levels are detected, a CH50 test may be recommended to assess overall complement activity.
