Sample Condition:
3 mL (2 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. Ship refrigerated or frozen AND 2 mL (1 mL min.) plasma from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Separate plasma within 2 hours of collection. Ship refrigerated or frozen. Patient should avoid Biotin at least 8 hours prior to specimen collection AND 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE AND 3 mL whole blood in 1 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tube. Mix thoroughly by inversion. Transport to Lab within 4 hours. If this is not possible, make PPP within 1 hour of collection as follows: Centrifuge sample at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & transfer supernatant to a clean plastic tube. Centrifuge this supernatant again at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & finally transfer the supernatant (PPP) to one labelled clean plastic screw capped vial. FREEZE IMMEDIATELY. Ship frozen. DO NOT THAW. Overnight fasting is preferred. Duly filled Coagulation Requisition Form (Form 15) is mandatory AND Nasopharyngeal & Oropharyngeal swabs in a special Viral transport medium (VTM) available from LPL. Ship refrigerated in a special transport box available from LPL. DO NOT FREEZE. Duly filled Covid-19 Clinical Information Form (Form 44) / SRF ID as mandated by GOI is mandatory.

Test Details:
The INTERLEUKIN-6 (IL-6) SARS-COV-2 BASIC PANEL test is a diagnostic test used to measure the levels of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the blood of individuals who have been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a cytokine that plays a crucial role in the immune response and inflammation. In severe cases of COVID-19, an excessive immune response can lead to a condition called cytokine storm, where there is an overproduction of cytokines, including IL-6. This can result in severe lung inflammation and other complications. The IL-6 SARS-COV-2 BASIC PANEL test helps in assessing the severity of the immune response and inflammation in COVID-19 patients. It is usually performed using a blood sample, and the IL-6 levels are measured using specialized laboratory techniques. The test results can provide valuable information to healthcare providers in determining the appropriate treatment plan for COVID-19 patients. Elevated levels of IL-6 may indicate a more severe immune response and could be an indicator for the use of certain medications, such as IL-6 inhibitors, to help reduce inflammation and improve patient outcomes. It is important to note that the IL-6 SARS-COV-2 BASIC PANEL test is just one tool in the diagnostic and management process for COVID-19. It should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical and laboratory findings to provide a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s condition.
