Test Overview & Methodology
This panel simultaneously measures Interleukin-6 cytokine levels using high-sensitivity CLIA (WHO IS 89/548 traceable, 0.1 pg/mL detection) and detects SARS-CoV-2 viral RNA via real-time RT-PCR targeting E and RdRp genes. The combined assessment provides a rapid, accurate inflammatory severity score to guide clinical decisions.
| Feature | Our IL-6 Panel (Precision Test) | Closest Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| IL-6 Quantification | High-sensitivity CLIA, traceable to WHO IS 89/548, 0.1 pg/mL detection | Often external send-out with ELISA; 3–5 day TAT |
| SARS-CoV-2 Detection | Real-Time RT-PCR targeting E and RdRp genes; in-house 24-hour batch | Standalone PCR lab; no cytokine correlation |
| Turnaround Time | 2 working days (sample by 11 AM) | 5–7 days with separate collection for IL-6 |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh (DHA License: 36234132) advises: "Interleukin-6 is a cornerstone predictor of the cytokine release syndrome in COVID-19. I interpret this panel not in isolation but alongside clinical oxygenation and hemodynamic status to guide timely immunomodulatory therapy. An elevated IL-6 without symptoms may be transient, so always correlate with the patient's bedside picture."
⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Biotin supplements must be stopped 8 hours before the test; please share your complete medication list with the phlebotomist.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Active bleeding or known severe coagulopathy (discuss with supervising physician before sample collection).
- Inability to safely draw venous sample from standard sites.
- Seek Emergency Care Immediately If: You develop new shortness of breath at rest, cyanosis of lips or face, severe chest pain, confusion, or oxygen saturation below 92% — do not wait for lab results.
