This test measures the percentage of CD3+, CD16+, and CD56+ cells, which are natural killer (NK) cells involved in immune system regulation.
It is used to assess immune function, especially in individuals with immunodeficiencies, autoimmune disorders, or those undergoing organ transplantation.
A blood sample is collected, and flow cytometry is used to analyze the presence and percentage of NK cells.
Low NK cell counts may indicate immunodeficiency, while elevated levels could suggest chronic infections, autoimmune diseases, or certain cancers.
Further immunological tests may be required to diagnose the underlying condition, and treatment will depend on the specific disorder identified.
