CD16 and CD56 are characteristic markers of natural killer cells. High CD16 and CD56 may be autoimmune system diseases or tumors.
1. Autoimmune system disease: it refers to the disease caused by the body’s immune response to autoantibodies and resulting in damage to its own tissues, which may lead to high CD16 and CD56, which may be caused by genetic factors, or abnormal immune regulation or autoantibodies, and need to control the progression of the disease in a timely manner.
2. Tumor: it is a new organism formed by proliferation and abnormal differentiation of body cells under the action of various initiating and promoting factors, which will make CD16 and CD56 high. However, high CD16 and CD56 cannot confirm the diagnosis of tumor, and the results of pathological examination are needed to confirm the diagnosis.
If you have high CD16 or CD56, you should consult a doctor to find out the cause.
