Reference Values
Circulating Immune Complex, C1q Binding: 0.0-3.9 ug Eq/mL
Circulating Immune Complex, C3 fragments: Less than or equal to 15 ug Eq/mL
Interpretation
Circulating Immune Complex, C1q Binding:
Less than or equal to 3.9 ug Eq/mL is considered negative for circulating complement binding immune complexes.
Circulating immune complexes may be found without any evident pathology and positive results do not necessarily implicate the immune complex in a disease process.
Circulating Immune Complex, C3 fragments:
Many autoimmune disorders, chronic infections and malignancies are associated with circulating immune complexes. Quantitation of immune complexes assists in staging immunologic disorders. Detection of circulating immune complexes is not essential to any specific diagnosis. Circulating immune complexes may be found without any evident pathology and positive results do not necessarily implicate immune complex-related disease process. Values between 15 and 20 ug Eq/mL are considered equivocal for Circulating Immune Complex, C3 fragments assay. Repeat- testing using a new specimen is recommended, if clinically indicated.
