The CD4/CD8 Count test measures both helper (CD4) and cytotoxic (CD8) T-cell populations in EDTA blood, offering a comprehensive view of cellular immune function. This ratio is especially useful in monitoring HIV infection, evaluating immune disorders, and assessing immune reconstitution. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced flow cytometry to provide precise and reliable counts. These results support clinicians in understanding immune balance and guiding appropriate treatment strategies.
