Test Methodology

ELISA

Reference Range *

Less than 4 ugE/mL is considered negative for circulating complement binding immune complexes. Circulating immune complexes may be found without any evident pathology and positive results do not necessarily implicate the immune complex in a disease process.

* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
