Understanding Your Results

Results are interpreted by a specialist in conjunction with obstetric history. No universal reference ranges apply.
Altered NK cells or CD19+ B cells may be associated with immune-mediated pregnancy complications, but diagnosis requires clinical correlation.
A normal result does not exclude all causes of recurrent pregnancy loss.
Serial monitoring and additional tests may be required.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult the referring obstetrician or gynaecologist if you have symptoms such as high blood pressure, protein in urine, severe headache, upper abdominal pain, or a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.

Limitations

  • Flow cytometry reference ranges are laboratory-specific and vary with gestational age.
  • Results should not be used in isolation and require clinical correlation.

Risks & Considerations

  • Mild bruising at the venipuncture site
  • Lightheadedness during blood draw

Interfering Factors

  • Improper sample transport temperature
  • Refrigerated or frozen samples
  • Haemolysed sample
  • Recent immunomodulatory therapy
  • Missing clinical history
