PROPERDIN FACTOR B

The properdin factor B test measures the level of properdin factor B, a protein involved in the alternative pathway of the complement system, in the blood. This test is used to assess the function of the immune system, diagnose complement system disorders, and monitor disease activity in conditions such as autoimmune diseases and infections. Elevated levels of properdin factor B can indicate inflammation or infection, while low levels suggest complement deficiency or genetic disorders. The properdin factor B test provides valuable information for diagnosing and managing immune-related conditions, guiding treatment decisions, and ensuring appropriate medical intervention.
