C8 COMPLEMENT Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the C8 COMPLEMENT test to measure the levels of C8 complement protein in the blood. Complement proteins are an essential part of the immune system, playing a crucial role in fighting off infections and clearing damaged cells.
Test Details
The C8 COMPLEMENT test is specifically designed to assess the levels of C8 complement protein in the blood. This protein is responsible for forming the membrane attack complex, which is responsible for destroying foreign cells. By measuring the levels of C8 complement protein, we can identify any deficiencies that may be present.
Why is the C8 COMPLEMENT Test Important?
A deficiency in C8 complement protein can be genetic or acquired. It can increase the risk of infections and autoimmune disorders. By conducting the C8 COMPLEMENT test, we can diagnose and manage these deficiencies, ultimately improving a person’s overall health and well-being.
Test Procedure
The C8 COMPLEMENT test requires a blood sample, which is taken and analyzed in our laboratory. The results of the test can help us diagnose a C8 complement deficiency and guide treatment decisions.
Test Cost
The cost of the C8 COMPLEMENT test is AED 1350.0.
Sample Requirements
To conduct the test, we require 2 mL (0.5 mL min.) of serum from 1 SST. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen. Additionally, a duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory.
Report Delivery
The sample should be sent by the 7th of the month, and the report will be delivered after 2-3 weeks.
