A member asked:

What does high hemolytic complement mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Likely response to: Inflammation. Complement is one of the acute phase reactants that increase in response to inflammation in the body. All lab results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
