Know more about this test

The CD4 Count test measures the number of CD4+ T cells in the blood. CD4+ T cells are a type of white blood cell (WBC) that helps the immune system fight off infections. This test is commonly used to assess immune function and to monitor disease progression or treatment response in individuals with HIV infection and other immunodeficiency disorders, including severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), post-transplant immunosuppression, chemotherapy-induced immunosuppression, and autoimmune diseases. It is widely available in Meerut with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price.

The CD4 Count test helps assess the strength of the immune system by quantifying the number of these cells in the blood. Doctorsr may suggest the CD4 Count test if an individual has been diagnosed with HIV infection or is living with HIV. This test helps in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). For patients with HIV, the CD4 Count test helps determine the stage of infection, when to initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART), and how well the treatment is working. This test also helps monitor immune system status in other immunocompromised conditions, and symptoms suggestive of an opportunistic infection, or other complications related to HIV. Additionally, the CD4 Count test can be done in other clinical scenarios involving immune suppression, such as organ transplantation, cancer chemotherapy, or autoimmune disorders.

No special preparation is required for the CD4 Count test. However, provide a brief clinical history at the time of sample collection. Inform a doctor about all the medications (e.g., immunosuppressants, steroids, etc.), supplements, and underlying illnesses, as all these factors may affect the test results.

Understanding CD4 Count

CD4+ T cells are a type of white blood cell vital for immune function. They help fight off infections by signaling other immune cells to respond.

The CD4 Count test helps assess the strength of the immune system by quantifying the number of CD+4 T lymphocytes in the blood. The test also measures CD45 Absolute, CD3 Percentage, CD3 Absolute, CD4 Percentage, and CD4 Absolute, which together provide detailed information about immune cell distribution and immune system health. Doctors may suggest the CD4 Count test if an individual has been diagnosed with HIV infection or is suspected of having HIV Infection. This test helps in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of HIV or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). For patients with HIV, the CD4 Count test helps determine the stage of infection, when to initiate antiretroviral therapy (ART), and how well the treatment is working. This test also helps monitor immune system status in other immunocompromised conditions, and symptoms suggestive of an opportunistic infection, or other complications related to HIV.

Additionally, the CD4 Count test can be done in other clinical scenarios involving immune suppression, such as congenital or acquired immunodeficiencies (e.g. SCID, Digeorge syndrome), patients undergoing chemotherapy, immunosuppressive therapy or organ transplantation, and those with autoimmune disease or protein energy malnutrition.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and reference standards used. High levels of CD4 cell counts indicate a healthy immune system, while low levels may suggest a weak immune system and a high risk of opportunistic infections. Do not self-medicate, and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly.

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample for this test is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.

What does CD4 Count measure?

Contains 5 tests

The CD4 Count test measures the number of CD4+ T cells in one microliter (µL) of blood. These cells help regulate immune responses and fight infections. In HIV, the virus targets and destroys these cells, making the immune system weak. This test helps determine the degree of immune suppression and the patient's risk of developing opportunistic infections or disease progression. The test also measures CD45 Absolute, which indicates the total number of leukocytes (white blood cells) expressing the CD45 marker; CD3 Percentage, which reflects the percentage of T lymphocytes among total lymphocytes; CD3 Absolute, which measures the total number of T lymphocytes in the blood; CD4 Percentage, which shows the proportion of CD4+ T helper cells among total lymphocytes; and CD4 Absolute, which measures the exact number of CD4+ T helper cells in the blood and is important for assessing immune function.
