Royal NK Cell Activity Program

Natural Killer (NK) Cells are white blood cells that help guard the body against viruses and tumor cells. The function of your NK cells determines how good your immune system is performing. Poor NK cell activity reflects an impaired immune function.

Who should receive NK cell activity screening?

• Healthy people who want to check their innate immune function
• People who have had cancer or a family history of cancer
• Those who have an imbalanced lifestyle such as heavy smoking, sleep deprivation, high stress and obesity
• Poor nutrition such as highly processed foods, insufficient intake of fruits and vegetables and low protein intake
• Certain medications and treatments such as immunosuppressive agents and chemotherapy
• Post-surgery patients

High NK cell activity reflects a good immune system. However, if the NK cell levels are abnormally high, it may indicate the presence of infection or autoimmune diseases where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in the body such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known as lupus, or rheumatoid arthritis. If the NK cell activity is low, the doctor will suggest treatments to maximize the efficiency of the NK cells.

The NK cell test is performed with a blood test. The doctor will analyze the NK cell levels and health check-up results to provide a tailor-made treatment plan to boost immunity.
