About Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test
IL-6 Test indicates levels of Interleukin-6. Interleukin-6 is a cytokine that belongs to the family of immune proteins. This type of protein is synthesized by body cells in the course of inflammatory processes and immune response to various infections. It is very significant for the regulation of the body's defense mechanisms. It is found in high concentrations during inflammation, infection, autoimmune disorders, and some types of cancer. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we have the most advanced laboratory equipment to provide you with highly accurate IL-6 testing.
What is an Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test?
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test is a blood test that measures the levels of inflammation and activity of the body's immune system. The serum levels of IL-6 can be elevated during both acute and chronic inflammation and can be helpful to the doctor in considering the severity of the disease, the response to treatment, and the management of the disease. This test can be ordered along with other inflammatory markers like C-Reactive Protein (CRP), ESR, Ferritin,n and Procalcitonin, for a thorough evaluation.
Common Reasons for an Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test
- Evaluation of acute or chronic inflammation
- Suspected severe bacterial or viral infections
- Assessment of autoimmune diseases
- Monitoring inflammatory disorders
- Evaluation of cytokine-mediated immune responses
- Monitoring critically ill patients
- Assessment of treatment response
- Investigation of unexplained fever or inflammatory symptoms
Conditions Evaluated
Acute and Chronic Inflammation
Helps detect increased inflammatory activity occurring in various medical conditions.
Severe Infections
Supports evaluation of bacterial, viral, and systemic infections associated with elevated inflammatory responses.
Autoimmune Disorders
Assists in assessing inflammatory activity in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.
Sepsis
May help evaluate the severity of systemic inflammatory responses in critically ill patients when interpreted with clinical findings.
Inflammatory Disorders
Supports diagnosis and monitoring of chronic inflammatory diseases.
Treatment Monitoring
Helps monitor response to therapies aimed at reducing inflammation or controlling immune system activity.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Your doctor may recommend an Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test if you:
- Have persistent fever or unexplained inflammation
- Are being evaluated for severe infections
- Have an autoimmune or inflammatory disease

Test information: Fasting not necessary, but preferred
Reporting: Within 12 hours*
- No fasting is generally required for the Interleukin-6 (IL-6) Test unless your doctor specifically advises otherwise.
- Inform your doctor about all medications, including antibiotics, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, or anti-inflammatory drugs, as they may influence IL-6 levels.
- Tell your doctor if you have fever, a recent infection, autoimmune disease, chronic inflammatory condition, recent surgery, or vaccination, as these factors can affect the test results.
- If you are undergoing treatment for an inflammatory or immune-related disorder, inform the laboratory staff before sample collection.
- Drink adequate water before the blood sample is collected to help make blood collection easier.
- Wear comfortable clothing with sleeves that can be easily rolled up.
- Arrive 10–15 minutes before your scheduled appointment for registration and sample collection.
