Interested in learning more about your immunity? Request A Test offers the convenient and affordable Interleukin 6 Test in Troy, . This test measures levels of Interleukin-6 in the blood. Interleukin-6 is a cytokine, a type of protein which plays an important role in the body's immune system. Normally IL-6 levels are low or undetectable. They may be elevated due to autoimmune disorders, inflammation, infection, some types of cancer, or heart disease. While increased levels of IL-6 can indicate that a person has an inflammatory condition, it cannot identify the source of the inflammation. Additional testing will typically be necessary before a diagnosis can be made.
An IL-6 test is sometimes ordered along with a C-Reactive Protein (CRP) test when a person has symptoms of an infection or other conditions which causes inflammation. IL-6 may also be ordered as a followup to elevated results on a CRP test. This test is also helpful in monitoring conditions such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, lupus, sepsis, or stroke.
