Tareq Abadl: The Clinical Meaning of C3 and C4
Tareq Abadl, Medical Lab Specialist, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Complement C3 vs C4 — Don’t Mix Them Up!
Confused about C3 vs C4 in Immunology?
Here’s the high-yield difference you need to remember:
- C3 is the major and central complement component.
- C4 is mainly associated with the Classical and Lectin pathways.
Clinical Pearl:
- Low C3 with normal C4 may suggest alternative pathway activation.
- Low C3 with low C4 may indicate classical pathway consumption.
ASCP / BOC Pearl:
- Don’t interpret complement levels alone.
- Always correlate C3, C4, and clinical findings.”
