Decreased CH50 values may be seen in cirrhosis or hepatitis [6] as a result of impaired complement production in the liver. It can also be seen in systemic lupus erythematosus as a result of increased usage of complement factors due to the pathology of the autoimmune condition.
The size of either C4A or C4B gene can be 21 kb (long, L) or 14.6 kb (short, S). Also, the long C4 gene uniquely contains a retrovirus HERV-K(C4) in its intron 9 that imposes transcription of an extra 6.36 kb, hence the “longer” string of gene. [2] [14] Thus, C4 genes have a complex pattern of variation in gene size, copy number, and ...
Diagnosis usually consists of medical evaluation in addition to laboratory testing. Laboratory evaluation includes complement studies, in which typical cases demonstrate low C4 levels, low C1q levels, and normal C3 levels. [3] Determining the etiology, or cause, of acquired angioedema is often helpful in providing appropriate management of AAE.

Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
The diagnostic tests used to diagnose a complement deficiency include: [3] CH50 measurement; Immunochemical methods/test; C3 deficiency screening; Mannose-binding lectin (lab study) Plasma levels/regulatory proteins (lab study)
Obesity in turn results in an abnormally high level of complement activation via production of the C1 component of the classical pathway, which can lead to tissue inflammation and eventually insulin resistance, however the exact mechanisms that causes this is yet unknown. [8]
