NK Cell (CD16+CD56) Analysis is a specialized immunology test designed to evaluate the body's natural immune defense mechanism by measuring Natural Killer (NK) Cells, a critical component of the innate immune system.
Natural Killer Cells play an important role in identifying and eliminating virus-infected cells, abnormal cells, and certain cancer cells. This test measures both the percentage of NK Cells (CD16+CD56) and the absolute NK Cell count, providing valuable insights into immune system function.
The package also includes a Complete Hemogram (CBC) with 28 parameters to assess overall blood health, infection indicators, inflammation status, and immune response.
This test is commonly recommended for:
- Immune system assessment
- Recurrent infections
- Autoimmune disease evaluation
- Immunodeficiency investigations
- Chronic inflammatory conditions
- Advanced wellness monitoring
