    What is Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) test is a medical test that checks the levels of interleukin-6, a protein that helps your body’s immune system work properly. This protein, known as IL-6, helps fight off germs, reduce infections, and repair damaged tissues. It is made by cells in your body, like T-cells, macrophages, blood vessel cells, and even fat cells. Although IL-6 is important for staying healthy, having too much can lead to problems like long-term swelling or harm to your body’s healthy parts.

    Doctors recommend this test for people with serious infections like COVID-19 or sepsis, people with autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, and those with ongoing inflammatory conditions like psoriasis or inflammatory bowel disease. It is also useful for people with certain cancers, such as multiple myeloma, or those getting special treatments like CAR-T therapy or monoclonal antibodies, which can cause something called cytokine release syndrome (CRS). This test also helps doctors check if treatments for diseases are working. High IL-6 levels may show that your body has too much inflammation or is struggling with health problems.

    If you live in Gurgaon and need to test for inflammation or learn more about your health, you can easily book an IL-6 test from home.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Parameters

    The IL-6 test measures only one key parameter: the amount of interleukin-6 present in the blood.

    IL-6 is a specialised protein involved in controlling inflammation and regulating the body’s immune system. It is created by a variety of cells, including T and B lymphocytes, fibroblasts, macrophages, and liver cells. IL-6 plays a critical role in fighting infections by prompting the liver to produce acute-phase proteins and activating B cells, which are essential for the development of antibodies.

    IL-6 connects with specific receptors found on cells to transmit signals that regulate immune activity. While IL-6 is crucial for defending the body against infections and supporting recovery, elevated levels can cause chronic inflammation. Abnormal IL-6 levels may suggest infections, prolonged inflammation, autoimmune disorders, or the advancement of cancer.

    Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test Preparation

    Preparing for an IL-6 (Interleukin-6) test at home is easy and convenient by following these steps:

    • Prerequisites : There is no fasting requirement for the IL-6 test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested : The IL-6 test can be performed during any hour of the day, based on your availability.

    • Who Should Get an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test : This test is suggested for people dealing with long-term inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or serious infections. It aids in monitoring conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, chronic infections, and some forms of cancer.

    • Cautions Before Taking an IL 6 (Interleukin 6) Test : Let your doctor know about any medications you are currently taking or recent health issues, as these might alter the test findings.

    Why Take the Interleukin 6 (IL6) Test?

    The IL-6 test evaluates inflammation levels in the body and identifies imbalances within the immune system. It is an essential tool for diagnosing and managing numerous medical issues:

    ● Suspected Intense Inflammation or Infection: When there is a suspicion of widespread inflammation, infection, or sepsis, the IL-6 test can help determine the intensity and guide appropriate treatments.

    ● Autoimmune Condition Flares: For individuals with pre-existing autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus, experiencing an inflammatory episode, the IL-6 test helps quantify inflammation levels.

    ● Tracking Disease Progression or Treatment Impact: For those receiving therapies for chronic inflammation or autoimmune diseases, the IL-6 test assesses treatment success and disease control.

    ● Guides Treatment Adjustments: Helps doctors in tailoring therapeutic approaches for immune and inflammation-related disorders.
