CA-125 is a blood test that measures the level of a protein called cancer antigen 125. While elevated CA-125 levels can be associated with ovarian cancer, Its important to note that this test is not a definitive diagnosis.Many other conditions, such as endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and pregnancy, can also cause elevated CA - 125 levels.Therefore, this test is primarily used to monitor women with known ovarian cancer or those at high risk due to family history or genetic mutations.

INTERLEUKIN-6 / IL-6 IS A MEMBER OF THE CYTOKINE FAMILY WITH A PIVOTAL ROLE IN THE ACTIVATION & REGULATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSE. CYTOKINES PLAY SEVERAL IMPORTANT ROLES IN THE BODY BUT ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE IMMUNE SYSTEM HAS BEEN GIVEN MUCH IMPORTANCE AS IT TRIGGERS INFLAMMATORY CASCADE WHERE A COORDINATED AND SEQUENTIAL IMMUNE RESPONSE IS ACTIVATED. CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME (CRS) IS A SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE THAT CAN BE CAUSED BY INFECTION AND CERTAIN DRUGS. IL-6 IS A KEY MOLECULE IN CRS AND IS NOW BEING USED TO MONITOR ITS RESPONSE IN COVID PATIENTS. IT CAN BE USED AS A PREDICTOR FOR PATIENTS WITH HIGHER RISK OF DISEASE DETERIORATION. HIGH LEVELS OF CYTOKINES INDUCED BY SARS-COV-2 VIRUS REQUIRES TIMELY TREATMENT TO REDUCE LUNG DAMAGE VIA INFLAMMATION, THEREBY IMPROVING RECOVERY RATES AND REDUCING MORTALITY.
