INTERLEUKIN-6

The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) test measures the level of IL-6, a protein (cytokine) made by the body during inflammation or infection. High IL-6 levels can indicate immune system activation, infections, chronic inflammatory conditions, or even severe illnesses like sepsis or COVID-19. This test assesses the severity of inflammation and guides appropriate treatment.
