Hi, just wondering if anyone had their complement levels checked? I have deficient C4 and low normal C3.

I have C3 and C4 inbetween normal and low... what are your diagnosis/symptoms?
Docs are trying to decide if my issue is MCAD or some connective tissue disease and say that it should be low in the latter and probably normal in MCAD, but don't seem sure...

My C4 was slightly low. Total complement and C3 were normal. The allergist was not concerned. She is however running other tests on me (7 tubes of blood worth).
