AVISE SLE Monitor is composed of the following markers:

Complement Markers
EC4d – is a patented biomarker that measures complement activation, which is thought to play a significant role in lupus disease activity.

C3 & C4 – are proteins in our blood most people have normal levels.  Abnormally low levels of C3 or C4 can be caused by a number of factors including active lupus.

Auto Antibody Markers
Anti-C1q is a special validated test exclusively offered by Exagen measuring autoantibodies to C1q. Elevated levels of anti-C1q could indicate an increases in lupus activity and possible kidney damage.

Anti-dsDNA by CIA is a recently approved new method for detecting autoantibodies to double stranded DNA (dsDNA). This unique version of dsDNA testing has demonstrated a greater ability to correlate with disease activity compared to older versions of the dsDNA test.
