DESCRIPTION: The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Enzyme Immunoassay is a diagnostic test used to measure the levels of IL-6, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, in serum or plasma. IL-6 plays a crucial role in the immune response and is often elevated in conditions such as infections, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases. This assay provides valuable insights into the inflammatory status of a patient. Clinicians use this test to monitor disease progression, assess treatment response, and help diagnose conditions characterized by systemic inflammation.
