What is the CD4 & CD8 Count Test?
The CD4 & CD8 Count Test measures the levels of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes in the blood. These are specific types of white blood cells that play crucial roles in the immune system. The CD4 count is often used to assess the immune system's health, especially in individuals with HIV, while the CD8 count helps evaluate the balance of different T cell types.

Purpose of the CD4 & CD8 Count Test:

1. HIV Monitoring:
   The CD4 count is a key indicator of immune system health in people living with HIV. It helps determine the stage of HIV infection and the need for antiretroviral therapy.

2. Immune System Evaluation:
   Used to assess immune system function in various conditions, including autoimmune diseases, immunodeficiencies, and other chronic infections.

3. Disease Monitoring:
   Helps monitor the progression of diseases that affect the immune system and the effectiveness of treatments.
