Description
Immune complexes are formed by the interaction of antibodies with an antigen circulating in the blood. A feature of this product of immunological reactions is the ability to damage the body's own tissues. The number of immune complexes increases in autoimmune pathology, inflammatory diseases, and infections. The organs most sensitive to damage by CIC are the kidneys and the endothelium of blood vessels. The most common immune complex disease is systemic lupus erythematosus; elevated values of the indicator are also observed in vasculitis, autoimmune hepatitis, endocarditis, Crohn's disease, and some other diseases.
Indications:
1. Diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune diseases
2. Diagnosis and monitoring of chronic infectious diseases
3. Monitoring of chronic inflammatory kidney diseases
4. In combination with other studies for the diagnosis of immunodeficiency states
