CD4 Absolute Count near me in Bangalore

The CD4 Absolute Count test measures the number of CD4+ T cells in your blood. CD4+ T cells are a type of white blood cells (WBCs) that help your immune system fight off infections. A higher CD4 count indicates a healthier immune system, while a lower count may suggest immunosuppression. CD4 counts are mainly done to aid in the management of HIV patients. This test may be conducted to assess the stage of HIV infection, monitor the progression of HIV, the effectiveness of ongoing antiretroviral therapy, and determine the need for preventive treatments or vaccinations. Your doctor may recommend the CD4 counts test if you have been diagnosed with HIV infection or are living with HIV, require monitoring of your immune system status, experience symptoms suggestive of an opportunistic infection or other complications related to HIV, or if there is a need to assess the effectiveness of ongoing antiretroviral therapy.
