About the Test
C1q is the first component of the classical complement pathway, part of the immune system that helps clear infections and damaged cells. Measuring C1q can help investigate certain immune and autoimmune conditions, recurrent infections, or a rare inherited or acquired complement deficiency. It is a specialised test usually ordered by a specialist as part of a wider immune work-up rather than as a routine screen.
What is it? A specialised blood test measuring the C1q protein of the classical complement pathway, also called complement C1q.

How to prepare for the C1 Q Complement test
No fasting is required. This is a specialised immunology test, so share any relevant diagnosis or specialist request when booking, and mention immune-modifying medications you take.
Understanding your C1 Q Complement results
A low or absent C1q can indicate a complement deficiency or consumption in certain immune conditions, while results are always interpreted within a broader immune assessment rather than alone. Because this is a specialised marker, review it with the specialist who requested it. Reports take 5 to 7 days.

C1q is a specialised immunology assay processed at accredited partner labs, which takes longer than routine bloods. Your doctor-reviewed report is delivered on WhatsApp and email once analysis is complete, within 5 to 7 days.
C1q is the first protein of the classical complement pathway, part of the immune system that helps recognise and clear infections and damaged cells. Measuring it helps assess how this part of your immune defence is working.
No fasting is needed. A DHA-licensed nurse can collect your sample at home, office, or hotel across Dubai at a convenient time, and the draw itself takes only a few minutes.
It is generally requested by a specialist investigating complement pathway disorders, certain autoimmune conditions, or recurrent infections. It is not a routine screening test, so it is best done on a doctor's advice.
A low or absent level can suggest a complement deficiency or that C1q is being used up in an immune process. It must be interpreted within a full immune assessment, so discuss it with the specialist who ordered it.
The C1q complement test is AED 500, self-pay with no insurance paperwork, payable when you book your at-home appointment.
