C1q Antibody Test (Blood Serum)

C1q antibodies can indicate the presence of autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Our C1q antibody test analyses serum to detect these antibodies.

C1q is a protein that binds antibodies and triggers the classical complement pathway. Presence of C1q antibodies suggests an autoimmune response against C1q.

This test requires 5 ml of blood serum collected with SST tubes. Our lab uses the highly sensitive ELISA technique to detect C1q antibodies in serum. Results are available within 48 hours.

Detecting C1q antibodies aids in diagnosing:

• SLE
• SLE nephritis
• Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis
• Glomerulonephritis

Monitoring C1q antibody levels also helps assess SLE progression and response to treatment.
