C1 Esterase Inhibitor Protein Quantitation
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the C1 Esterase Inhibitor Protein Quantitation test, also known as the C1 Inhibitor Quantitative test. This laboratory test is designed to measure the levels of C1 esterase inhibitor protein in the blood.
Test Details
The C1 esterase inhibitor protein quantitation test is a crucial tool in diagnosing and monitoring hereditary angioedema, a rare genetic disorder characterized by episodes of swelling in various parts of the body. The test measures the amount of C1 esterase inhibitor protein in the blood to determine if the levels are within the normal range.
To perform the test, we require a 2 mL (0.5 mL min.) serum sample from 1 Red Top (No Additive) tube. It is important not to use SST gel barrier tubes. The serum should be separated within 1 hour of collection and shipped refrigerated or frozen. Overnight fasting is preferred before taking the sample.
The test is conducted using the radial immunodiffusion method, which is a specialized technique for measuring C1 esterase inhibitor protein levels. Our experienced physicians in the IMMUNOPATHOLOGY department oversee the test and provide accurate results.
Once the sample is received, the report is delivered on the following Monday if the sample is submitted on Wednesday by 9 am.
Understanding Hereditary Angioedema
C1 esterase inhibitor is a protein that plays a crucial role in regulating the complement system, which is a part of the immune system. Deficiencies in C1 esterase inhibitor can lead to hereditary angioedema. This rare genetic disorder is characterized by episodes of swelling in various parts of the body.
The C1 esterase inhibitor protein quantitation test helps in diagnosing and monitoring hereditary angioedema. By measuring the levels of C1 esterase inhibitor protein in the blood, we can determine if there is a deficiency. If the levels are low, it confirms the diagnosis of hereditary angioedema.
Importance of the Test
The C1 esterase inhibitor protein quantitation test is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of hereditary angioedema. It helps healthcare providers determine the appropriate treatment options for patients with this condition.
By accurately measuring the levels of C1 esterase inhibitor protein in the blood, we can provide valuable information that aids in the management of hereditary angioedema. This allows healthcare providers to tailor treatment plans to the individual needs of each patient.
At DNA Labs UAE, we are dedicated to providing accurate and reliable genetic testing services. Our C1 esterase inhibitor protein quantitation test is performed with precision and efficiency, ensuring that our clients receive the highest quality results.

If the levels are low, it indicates a deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor and confirms the diagnosis of hereditary angioedema. This test is typically performed using a blood sample. The blood sample is sent to a laboratory, where the C1 esterase inhibitor protein levels are measured using specialized techniques. The results of the test are usually reported as a numerical value, indicating the amount of C1 esterase inhibitor protein in the blood.
