Natural Killer Cells

Natural killer cells are part of the body's immune system in our bodies. They fight off infections and keep the body healthy. Blood tests are used to determine how many Natural Killer cells, or NK cells, are in your body.

A fertility doctor usually recommends this test if a woman has had a lot of miscarriages, two miscarriages after the age of 35, or a lot of IVF failures. NK cells that live in the uterus are called uNK, and they play an essential role in pregnancy. Some people can have too many or too few uNK cells, making it hard to get pregnant or have a miscarriage.

The number of NK cells can be found in this simple blood test. When a woman is going through her period, this test can be done at any time.
