Frequently Asked Questions

The activity of NK cells, which are essential for immunological defence against infections and malignancies, is assessed by this test.

This test may be necessary for patients with immunological abnormalities, recurring infections, or infertility problems.

Immune suppression may be indicated by low NK cell activity, whereas autoimmune disorders may be indicated by excessive activity.

The underlying causes will determine the course of treatment, which may involve immunotherapy or drugs to balance immune function.

It requires a routine blood draw, which is not very uncomfortable.
