FAQ
What is Systemic Lupus erythematosus?
Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the body's own immune system makes antibodies against its own proteins/molecules. This body causes the destruction of its own cells. It causes a widespread impact on several organs like the kidneys, lungs, skin, joints, heart, etc. Impacted kidneys might lead to lupus nephritis that may get worse with time and cause kidney failure.
What tests are done to detect lupus nephritis?
Doctors use the following tests to identify lupus nephritis –
- Blood test is done to check kidney function and the presence of C1q autoantibodies
- Urine test is done to check the presence of blood and certain proteins.
- Kidney biopsy is done to microscopically examine kidney tissues to confirm lupus nephritis and to assess disease progression

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the C1q Antibody Test in Sanand to assess kidney function and to predict the presence of Lupus Nephritis.
Overview of the C1q Antibody Test
The C1q Antibody Test is done to identify lupus nephritis and kidney malfunctions. C1q is a molecule that plays an important role in the initiation of the classical complement activation pathway, which is an important part of the immune system’s functioning. The presence of autoantibodies produced against C1q molecules has been found to be associated with autoimmune diseases, renal malfunctioning, and in certain infectious diseases. Such autoantibodies cause the destruction of C1q molecules that in turn cause the chronic disease Systemic Lupus erythematosus (SLE), intermittent bacterial infections, and glomerulonephritis. Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a reliable C1q Antibody Test in Sanand with timely reports.
Why And When Is A C1q Antibody Test Done?
A C1q Antibody Test is ordered as an adjunct to identify kidney dysfunction and associated lupus nephritis. Early detection of these antibodies helps in prompt and better treatment of these disorders.
A doctor may recommend C1q Antibody Test if a person exhibits following symptoms:
- Foamy urine
- Frequent infections

How to Interpret the C1q Antibody Test Report
The autoantibodies formed against the C1q molecule are found in many autoimmune diseases as well as in healthy individuals at very low concentrations. The antibodies are detected in blood samples by immunoassays like ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and are read as units per ml of blood serum (AU/ml).
The results are given as:
Normal Range – 18-128 AU/ml.
Above normal range may indicate the presence of lupus nephritis and renal malfunction.
