Hi - I'm in the UK, where may I get low NK cell
Function tests and other lymphocytes done?
Cheers

Nevertheless, so many pwME report out-of-range values for their NK cell function labs.
The fact that there is a range seems relevant; I should think by definition most healthy people fall within that range, but maybe not. The stream of reports of out-of-range values for NK also seems relevant.
As more research is performed, we may learn more about the association.
Yet still there is an operational range. I would hope that was appropriately established. If a given population repeatedly tests outside of it, that may speak to something a wee bit more significant than a morning cup of coffee.
More research would be welcome.

I was told that in 2012 my immunity was at 74%.
@Hip, cd57 values can be influenced by more than just Lyme. So the answer to your question of whether cd57 can be used to distinguish Lyme from ME/CFS would likely be "No".
