CD4 CD8

The CD4/CD8 test measures the levels of two types of T-lymphocytes—CD4+ helper T cells and CD8+ cytotoxic T cells—in the blood. CD4 cells play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response by signaling other cells, while CD8 cells are responsible for directly attacking infected or abnormal cells. This test is commonly used to assess immune function, especially in individuals with HIV/AIDS, autoimmune disorders, or those undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. The CD4/CD8 ratio provides insight into immune balance, helping monitor disease progression, treatment effectiveness, and overall immune health.
