To monitor the effectiveness of treatment for an autoimmune disease. As part of a broader evaluation of the complement system, sometimes alongside a C3 test. How the test is done A healthcare provider will take a blood sample by inserting a needle into a vein in your arm or hand. You do not need to prepare for this test, but you should inform your doctor about all the medications and supplements you are taking. There may be a slight sting or pain when the needle is inserted, and the site may be sore afterward. What the results mean Normal range: A typical C4 level is around 16 to 48 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).
