Single standalone test:

Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16. Can be ordered individually or as part of a preventive health package on GetVisit.

Why Take a Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 Test in Delhi ?

When does a doctor order Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16?

Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 is often included in a lymphocyte subset or immune phenotyping panel done by flow cytometry. Doctors may order it for recurrent infections, unexplained fevers, abnormal blood counts, or to evaluate suspected immune deficiency or blood cancer.

Who should get Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 done in Delhi?

Delhi's 30+ million population, India's most severe urban air pollution, one of the country's highest combined diabetes and cardiovascular disease burdens, extreme seasonal temperature range (from 3°C in January to 48°C in May), and monsoon infection risk across Dwarka, Rohini, Shahdara, and Uttam Nagar make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential part of health management for all city residents. Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 testing is important for symptomatic patients, for confirming recovery, and for household members of a confirmed case. Testing early in Delhi's fever season prevents the complications that come from treating the wrong infection.

What conditions can Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 help diagnose?

Abnormal results can arise from infections, autoimmune disease, medications, chemotherapy, or inherited immune disorders. A family history of primary immunodeficiency can make this test more important.

What do Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 results mean?

Higher or positive results: High NK CD56+CD16+ indicates an increased number of natural killer cells with CD56 and CD16 markers, reflecting raised cytotoxic NK activity. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 be repeated?

Infection tests are ordered when symptoms are present rather than on a fixed schedule. Repeat testing may be needed to confirm recovery, to check clearance after treatment, or if fever recurs. During Delhi's monsoon fever season, prompt retesting is advised for any new febrile illness.

What happens after Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 results are ready?

You will be notified the moment results are ready, usually the same day for routine tests. Open the report in the GetVisit app to see each value beside its reference range, share it with your doctor in a tap, or book a specialist consultation to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

Is CD16 a marker for NK cells?plus

CD16 (FcγRIII) is commonly used as a marker for NK cells, especially the cytotoxic CD56dim subset, and mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. However, it is not exclusive to NK cells , monocytes, macrophages and neutrophils also express CD16 , and some NK cells (CD56bright) lack CD16. Thus it identifies NK subsets but is not NK-specific.

What does high NK CD56 16 mean?plus

High NK CD56+CD16+ indicates an increased number of natural killer cells with CD56 and CD16 markers, reflecting raised cytotoxic NK activity. Causes include recent or ongoing viral infection, inflammation, stress, autoimmune conditions, or less commonly an NK‑cell proliferative disorder. Clinical significance depends on symptoms and degree of elevation; follow up with your clinician for correlation and possible repeat testing or hematology referral.

Do NKT cells express CD16?plus

Most NKT cells do not constitutively express CD16 (FcγRIII). Classical/invariant NKT cells typically lack strong CD16 expression, although some human NKT-like or activated CD56+ NKT subsets can express CD16 and perform antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. Thus CD16 is variable and not a defining marker for NKT cells; expression depends on subset, activation state, and species.

What is CD56 a marker for?plus

CD56 is the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) commonly used as a marker of natural killer (NK) cells (CD56bright and CD56dim subsets) and some cytotoxic T‑cell (NKT) subsets. It is also expressed on neural and neuroendocrine tissues and is used diagnostically to identify neural‑ or neuroendocrine‑derived tumors such as neuroblastoma and small‑cell lung carcinoma.

Can menstruation affect Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 results?plus

Some tests, such as iron studies and certain hormone panels, can be influenced by your menstrual cycle. If you are on your period, mention it so your doctor can judge whether timing matters for Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16.

Do I need a doctor's prescription to book Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16?plus

You can book Natural Killer Cell Marker : CD 16 on GetVisit with or without a prescription, though a doctor's advice helps with interpreting the result. Cashless OPD may require a referral, depending on your insurer.

High fever in the monsoon and my doctor wanted dengue and typhoid ruled out. The GetVisit platform made it easy to pick a morning slot before office in Kirti Nagar. The technician was gentle and my elderly father had no issues. Blood draw was fast and painless. The test confirmed exactly what my doctor had suspected. Much better than standing in line at a hospital lab.
