Complement Component C4a, Plasma
Complement Component C4a, Plasma - During activation of the classical or lectin pathway of complement, C4 is cleaved into C4a and C4b. C4a is rapidly cleaved to the more stable form C4a-des-arg. Even if total C3 and C4 levels are not low (because of increased production by the liver during acute inflammation), elevated levels of C4a-des-arg indicate recent complement pathway activation.

"As a Women’s Metabolic Neurobehavioral Specialist and PhD Candidate in Educational Psychology, I bridge the gap between advanced science and clinical patient care. My doctoral work focuses heavily on behavioral neuroscience and the intricate ways metabolic illness impacts, and is impacted by, brain function and behavior. In the clinic, I design specialized, evidence-based intervention programs tailored specifically to the unique biological needs of women. By assessing your individual cognitive and neurobiological patterns, we will co-create targeted behavioral strategies that optimize both your brain health and metabolic recovery."
