    Less than or equal to 3.9 ug Eq/mL is considered negative for circulating complement binding immune complexes.
Circulating immune complexes may be found without any evident pathology and positive results do not necessarily implicate the immune complex in a disease process.

                    Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

                    The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.
