Sample Condition:
- 5 mL (4 mL min.) serum from 2 SSTs 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.
- 3 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE.
- 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.

Test Details
The INTERLEUKIN-6 (IL-6) EXTENDED PANEL test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the blood. IL-6 is a cytokine, a type of protein that plays a crucial role in the immune response and inflammation.
This test is typically ordered when there is suspicion of an underlying inflammatory condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or vasculitis. It can also be used to monitor the response to treatment in patients with these conditions.
The IL-6 extended panel test may include additional markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and other cytokines, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of the inflammatory process.
Elevated levels of IL-6 can indicate the presence of inflammation or an overactive immune response. Monitoring IL-6 levels can help healthcare providers assess disease activity, guide treatment decisions, and evaluate the effectiveness of therapy.
It is important to note that the interpretation of IL-6 levels should be done in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other laboratory tests to obtain a comprehensive picture of the patient’s condition.
