What is complement c3?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complement C3: Complement C3 is a blood test that measures the activity of a certain protein that is part of the complement system. The complement system is a group of proteins that move freely through your bloodstream. The proteins work with your immune system and play a role in the development of inflammation. This test is usually elevated in immune diseases or infections.
