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.
