Questions about biological relationships can arise for many reasons โ€” personal, legal or even immigration-related. Whatever the circumstances, DNA testing requires accuracy, confidentiality and professional handling from collection to reporting.

At Dr. Kalebi Labs (DKL), our in-house DNA Paternity & Relationship Testing service provides reliable answers with a turnaround time of just 1โ€“2 days, using a simple and painless cheek swab.

Most clinicians routinely request CRP when assessing inflammation. However, IL-6 is one of the principal cytokines that initiates the inflammatory response by stimulating the liver to produce CRP and other acute-phase proteins.

Simply put: IL-6 rises first. CRP follows.

Because IL-6 increases within 1โ€“3 hours, it provides an earlier and more direct indication of active systemic inflammation, helping clinicians detect disease sooner, assess severity, stratify risk and monitor treatment response in near real time.

Comparison of inflammatory biomarkers

โ€ข IL-6: Rises in 1โ€“3 hours; earliest marker, reflects disease severity and declines rapidly with effective treatment.
โ€ข Procalcitonin: Rises in 3โ€“6 hours; particularly useful in bacterial infections.
โ€ข CRP: Rises in 6โ€“12 hours; excellent for monitoring but follows IL-6.
โ€ข Ferritin & ESR: Rise later and often remain elevated despite clinical improvement.

Think of IL-6 as the fire and CRP as the smoke. Measuring IL-6 offers an earlier window into the inflammatory process, enabling faster diagnosis and more informed clinical decisions.

IL-6 provides the greatest clinical value when used alongside other biomarkers:

โ€ข IL-6 + CRP: Earlier detection and follow-up monitoring.
โ€ข IL-6 + Procalcitonin: Better assessment of bacterial versus non-bacterial inflammation.
โ€ข IL-6 + Ferritin: Enhanced evaluation of cytokine storm syndromes, HLH/MAS and other hyperinflammatory conditions.

At Dr. Kalebi Labs (DKL), Roche Elecsysยฎ Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has been available in-house since our inception, making DKL the first laboratory in Kenya to routinely offer this advanced biomarker on a high-throughput automated platform.

During the comprehensive tour of our state-of-the-art national referral laboratory, the visitors experienced firsthand DKL's fully automated and paperless laboratory workflow, integrated digital systems, advanced diagnostic technologies, rigorous quality management processes, and patient-centred service delivery model. The discussions also explored laboratory operations, automation, digital transformation, workflow optimisation, quality assurance, and strategies for delivering timely, reliable, and world-class diagnostic services.

The visit concluded with an engaging roundtable discussion where both teams exchanged valuable insights, experiences, and ideas aimed at strengthening laboratory medicine across Africa through collaboration, continuous learning, and innovation.

We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to host this esteemed delegation and look forward to fostering stronger partnerships that advance diagnostic excellence and improve patient care across the continent.

Why does your DKL ANA & ENA Profile report show signal intensity instead of the traditional ANA titre?

The answer lies in the testing technology.

Traditional ANA testing using HEp-2 Indirect Immunofluorescence (ANA-IFA) reports an endpoint titre (e.g. 1:160 or 1:640) based on serial dilution of the patientโ€™s serum. At DKL, we perform ANA & ENA Profile testing using the fully automated EUROIMMUN EUROBlotOne platform, which uses a standardised fixed-dilution multiplex immunoblot assay.

Instead of reporting an ANA titre, the system measures the signal intensity of each specific autoantibody through advanced digital image analysis. A stronger signal generally indicates a higher level of that specific antibody, but signal intensity is not equivalent to an ANA titre and should not be interpreted as one.

A major advantage of this technology is its ability to identify multiple clinically important autoantibodies in a single test, including SSA/Ro, Ro52, SSB/La, Sm, RNP, Scl-70, Jo-1, Centromere B, Mi-2, Histone, Ribosomal P, DFS70 and others associated with autoimmune connective tissue diseases such as SLE, Sjรถgrenโ€™s Syndrome, Systemic Sclerosis, Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis, and Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD).

At DKL, every test benefits from:
โœ… ISO 15189:2022 Accredited Quality Management System
โœ… CAP External Quality Assessment (EQA) participation
โœ… Automated, objective software-based interpretation
โœ… Same-day turnaround time for ANA & ENA Profile results

Laboratory findings should always be interpreted together with the patientโ€™s clinical history, examination findings, and other relevant investigations.
