COMPLEMENT C4

This assessment method evaluates the concentration of complement C4 proteins in the bloodstream, integral to the immune system’s defense mechanism against bacteria and viruses. Analyzing C4 levels in conjunction with other complement elements aids in diagnosing and monitoring several medical conditions. Notably, systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus), an autoimmune disorder, often correlates with irregular C4 levels. This diagnostic approach facilitates tailored treatment strategies and ongoing assessment to effectively manage intricate diseases, including lupus.
