Total Complement Activity Tests

The total complement activity contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the activation status of the complement system to better define disease occurrence, severity, and response to treatment. Therefore, the total complement activity test has very important clinical value in the diagnosis and subsequent treatment of complement-related diseases. The most common methods of total complement activity tests include hemolysis assays, liposome lysis, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs).
