Componente 3 del complemento (C3) - Riesgos

Nombres alternativos

C3

Cuáles son los riesgos:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve en cualquier momento que se presenta ruptura de la piel)
  • Punciones múltiples para localizar las venas

Consideraciones especiales:

La "cascada del complemento" es una serie de reacciones que tiene lugar en la sangre. La cascada activa las proteínas del complemento y el resultado es una unidad de ataque que crea agujeros en la membrana de las bacterias, destruyéndolas de ese modo. C3 se adhiere a las bacterias y las mata directamente.
