IL-6 Test (Interleukin-6 Blood Test)

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The IL-6 Test measures levels of Interleukin-6, a protein involved in inflammation and immune response. Elevated IL-6 levels may indicate infection, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, or severe complications of COVID-19. This test helps in diagnosis, monitoring treatment, and assessing disease severity.

The IL-6 Test is a specialized blood test that evaluates the concentration of Interleukin-6, a cytokine produced by various cells in the body during immune activation. IL-6 plays a critical role in regulating immune responses, inflammation, and hematopoiesis. Elevated levels are commonly seen in infections, autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammation, and certain cancers.

In recent years, IL-6 measurement has also been used to assess the severity of COVID-19, as significantly increased levels can indicate a “cytokine storm,” which may require urgent medical intervention.


Parameters Covered:

  • Interleukin-6 (IL-6): Measures the cytokine level to evaluate inflammation, immune activation, and disease progression.


Why is the Test Important?

  • Helps detect inflammatory and autoimmune disorders.

  • Assists in diagnosing and monitoring infections and chronic inflammatory diseases.

  • Supports COVID-19 severity assessment and management.

  • Guides treatment decisions in conditions involving excessive immune activation.


Who Should Take This Test?

  • Individuals with symptoms of persistent inflammation (fever, fatigue, joint pain).

  • Patients with suspected autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

  • Those diagnosed with severe COVID-19 or at high risk of complications.

  • Individuals with unexplained inflammation markers in other tests (e.g., CRP, ESR).


IL-6 Test Procedure & Preparation:

  • Sample Type: Blood sample

  • Fasting Required: No fasting required

  • Preparation: No special preparation needed unless advised by your doctor


Understanding the Results:

Normal IL-6 levels are generally low. Elevated values may indicate acute or chronic inflammation, infection, autoimmune activity, or malignancy. In COVID-19 cases, high IL-6 may signal severe immune overreaction. Test results should be interpreted in combination with other clinical and laboratory findings.
