The C1 Esterase Inhibitor Test in Pune, measures the level of C1 esterase inhibitor, a protein that regulates the complement system, part of the body's immune defence. Reduced or dysfunctional C1 esterase inhibitor can lead to hereditary angioedema, a condition characterised by recurrent episodes of swelling without itching or hives. Measuring this protein helps differentiate hereditary causes from allergic swelling in patients across Pune.
