COMPLEMENT 4 (C4)
What does COMPLEMENT 4 (C4) measure?
The Complement 4 (C4) test measures the level of C4, a protein that is part of the body’s complement immune system. It may be used to help assess immune system activity, inflammation, or conditions in which complement proteins may be reduced or consumed. Healthcare professionals may order it alongside other complement tests when evaluating certain autoimmune, inflammatory, or recurrent infection-related concerns.
