What the KL-6 (Krebs Von Den Lungen-6) Test measures
KL-6 (Krebs von den Lungen-6) is a mucin-like high molecular weight glycoprotein, which is associated with lung injury and inflammation. Elevated KL-6 levels are often seen in Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). KL-6 levels correlate with the severity of ILD, and changes in KL-6 levels can help track disease progression or response to treatment.
Price: the KL-6 (Krebs Von Den Lungen-6) Test costs ₹6,400 at Pure Bliss (MRP ₹8,000), with the sample collected at our Action Area 2, New Town centre or at your home.
How to prepare, the sample, and when to expect the report
Preparation
Most tests need no special preparation, but some need fasting or a particular time of day. The team will tell you when you book. Carry your doctor’s prescription if you have one.
Reporting time
Most routine reports within 24 hours; specialised tests can take up to 72 hours.
Reading the result
Reference ranges differ between laboratories, so your report lists the laboratory’s own range beside each value. A result outside the range does not always mean illness; ask your doctor to explain it.
