The Thyrocare IL-6 Test measures the level of interleukin-6, a pro-inflammatory cytokine in the blood. IL-6 helps regulate immune response, inflammation, and infection.

This test is recommended for individuals with:

• Severe infections or suspected sepsis

• Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease)

• Monitoring of cytokine-related complications, especially in severe COVID-19 or other cytokine storms

• Cases with unexplained high fever or inflammation

3. Is fasting required before taking the Thyrocare IL-6 Test?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be taken at any time of the day as food intake does not affect IL-6 levels.

4. How is the sample collected for the Thyrocare IL-6 Test?

Thyrocare uses advanced high-sensitivity immunoassays, fully automated analyzers, and strict quality control protocols to ensure accurate and consistent IL-6 results.

9. What do the Thyrocare IL-6 Test results indicate?

• Elevated IL-6 levels indicate significant inflammation, infection, or immune activation (e.g., sepsis, cytokine storm, autoimmune flare).

• Moderate increases may occur in conditions like chronic inflammation or infection.

• Normal levels suggest absence of acute inflammatory response.
  Results should be interpreted along with clinical context, CRP, other inflammatory markers, and physician evaluation.
