PROPERDIN FACTOR B C3 PROACTIVATOR Test Cost INR: 7885.8 - Symptoms and Diagnosis

DNA Labs India offers the PROPERDIN FACTOR B C3 PROACTIVATOR test at a cost of INR 7885.8. This test is used to diagnose and monitor a variety of conditions related to the immune system and complement system.

Symptoms

The symptoms of complement deficiencies can vary depending on the specific deficiency and the severity of the condition. Some common symptoms may include:

• Recurrent infections, particularly of the respiratory tract
• Increased susceptibility to bacterial infections
• Difficulty fighting infections
• Delayed wound healing
• Inflammatory conditions, such as autoimmune disorders

Diagnosis

Diagnosing complement deficiencies typically involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. The PROPERDIN FACTOR B C3 PROACTIVATOR test is one of several tests that can be used to evaluate the function of the complement system.

The test measures the levels of properdin, factor B, and C3 proactivator in the blood. Properdin is a protein that helps activate the complement system, while factor B and C3 proactivator are proteins involved in the complement cascade. Abnormal levels of these proteins can indicate a dysfunction in the complement system.

The PROPERDIN FACTOR B C3 PROACTIVATOR test is typically ordered for individuals with recurrent infections, autoimmune disorders, or a family history of complement deficiencies. It may also be used to monitor individuals with known complement deficiencies to assess treatment effectiveness.

Conclusion

The PROPERDIN FACTOR B C3 PROACTIVATOR test is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of complement deficiencies. If you are experiencing recurrent infections or have a family history of complement deficiencies, talk to your healthcare provider about whether this test may be appropriate for you.
