About C3 Complement
C3 is a protein involved in immune response and inflammation.
The reasons for low C3
Low C3 levels may indicate immune deficiencies, chronic liver disease, or autoimmune conditions like lupus. Managing inflammation and underlying infections can help restore balance.
The reasons for elevated C3
High C3 is associated with inflammation, infections, or chronic kidney disease. Addressing autoimmune activity and reducing chronic inflammation may help normalize levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low C3?
Low C3 weakens the immune response, increasing susceptibility to infections and autoimmune disease progression.
High C3 levels are linked to chronic inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, and infections. Prolonged elevation may contribute to tissue damage, kidney disease, and increased cardiovascular risks.
