I'm curious about your level of IL6 - was this a 'serum level' of IL6 ? I have read many times that IL6 testing is not "easily' done .......

Well I went back to my test results for 2021 and found out they cancelled the IL-6. So I cant really tell you. It was a serum test. I had it done at sonora quest. Results listed below.

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) < 38 LESS THAN 38 pg/mL NL
To convert pg/mL IL-2 to NIBSC units (U/mL), multiply the pg/mL value
reported by 0.026. This assay was performed using the Endogen Human
IL-2 ELISA kit.
This test was performed using a kit that has not been cleared or
approved by the FDA. The analytical performance characteristics of
this test have been determined by Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute
San Juan Capistrano. This test should not be used for diagnosis
without confirmation by other medically established means.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Serum Cancelled NL
The specimen for this test was received at the wrong temperature. Test was cancelled
