TBNK Flow Cytometry

• The TBNK Flow Cytometry Test is a diagnostic procedure used to measure the levels of T cells, B cells, and natural killer (NK) cells in the bloodstream, providing valuable insights into the immune system's function

• TBNK Flow Cytometry Test is essential for evaluating immune system function, diagnosing immunodeficiency disorders, monitoring immune responses in cancer patients, and assessing transplant outcomes

• TBNK Flow Cytometry Test involves collecting a blood sample and analyzing it using flow cytometry to quantify T cells, B cells, and NK cells

• Interpretations of the TBNK Flow Cytometry Test results involve assessing the relative percentages and absolute counts of T cells, B cells, and NK cells to evaluate immune function and detect abnormalities

• The results of the TBNK Flow Cytometry Test provide valuable information about the composition and function of the immune system, helping doctors diagnose immune disorders and guide treatment decisions

Q. Why is the TBNK Flow Cytometry Test done?
TBNK Flow Cytometry Test is done to measure levels of immune cells in the blood

Q. Who might need a TBNK Flow Cytometry Test?
