The Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test is a blood test that measures the concentration of IL-6, a key pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by immune cells in response to infections, trauma, or other inflammatory triggers. IL-6 plays a major role in regulating immune response, inflammation, and the acute-phase reaction.
Elevated IL-6 levels are associated with:
Severe bacterial or viral infections (e.g., sepsis, pneumonia, COVID-19)
Autoimmune diseases (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, lupus)
Cytokine storm syndrome in critically ill patients
Certain cancers and chronic inflammatory conditions1499
