IL-6 Testing - Inflammation

In-person Blood Serum Testing (Finger Prick)

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a protein involved in immune response and inflammation. While essential for fighting infections and healing, high IL-6 levels are linked to chronic inflammation and various health issues.

Why Test Your IL-6 Levels?

- Monitor Inflammation: Elevated IL-6 can signal chronic inflammation, a risk factor for conditions like cardiovascular disease and arthritis.
- Assess Immune Function: Testing IL-6 helps gauge your immune system's response to stress and infections.
- Evaluate Risk: High IL-6 levels are associated with increased risks of diabetes, cancer, and Alzheimer's. Early detection allows for proactive management.
- Support Weight Management: Since chronic inflammation can impact weight, knowing your IL-6 levels can help tailor effective weight management strategies.
- Guide Treatment: IL-6 testing helps monitor the effectiveness of treatments for chronic illnesses by tracking inflammation levels.

Individuals with chronic health conditions, unexplained inflammation, or at risk for inflammation-related diseases should consider IL-6 testing for a comprehensive health assessment.
