    What is a CD 4/CD 8 Test?

    The CD4/CD8 test is used to measure the ratio of two important types of white blood cells in your immune system: CD4 cells and CD8 cells. CD4 cells help your body fight infections, while CD8 cells kill harmful invaders, such as cancer cells and viruses.

    This test is particularly useful for people with HIV, as HIV weakens the immune system by lowering the number of CD4 cells. Without treatment, the CD4 count continues to fall, increasing the risk of infections. The CD4/CD8 ratio helps doctors assess how strong your immune system is and how well your HIV treatment is working.

    A healthy immune system usually has a CD4/CD8 ratio above 1.0. If the ratio is below 1, it may indicate HIV, AIDS, or other health issues like chronic infections, anaemia, or multiple sclerosis.

    The test is performed using a blood sample. By tracking the CD4/CD8 ratio, healthcare providers can monitor your immune health and adjust treatment as needed.

    CD 4/CD 8 Test Parameters

    The CD4/CD8 Ratio test focuses on a single parameter: the ratio between CD4 and CD8 cells to evaluate immune function.

    Why Take the CD 4/CD 8 Test?

    This test evaluates your immune system's strength, particularly if you have HIV, by measuring specific cells. It helps monitor infection-fighting ability and assesses progress during HIV treatment.
