Purpose:
The Complement 3 (C3) test measures the level of C3 protein in the blood, which plays a key role in the immune system. C3 is part of the complement system, a group of proteins that help fight infections and remove dead cells. Abnormal C3 levels can indicate autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or glomerulonephritis, as well as chronic infections and other inflammatory conditions.

Components Measured:

• Complement 3 (C3) Levels: Assesses the concentration of the C3 protein in the blood to evaluate immune system activity and detect potential immune-related disorders.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).

Fasting Requirements:
Fasting is not required for the C3 test. You can eat and drink as usual before the test, unless instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider.

Preparation:

• Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect complement levels.
• Health History: Discuss any recent infections, inflammation, or autoimmune conditions with your doctor, as these may influence test results.

Collection Method:
A blood sample will be drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
