The CD8 Count test measures the number of CD8-positive cytotoxic T cells in EDTA blood, helping evaluate cellular immune response and immune system balance. It is useful in monitoring viral infections, assessing immune disorders, and interpreting CD4/CD8 dynamics. Metropolis Healthcare uses advanced flow cytometry to provide precise and reliable CD8 count results. These results support clinicians in understanding immune function and guiding further evaluation when needed.
