Cellular immunity determination (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD16, CD19)

What is it? 

It is an immunological test that evaluates the main immune cells - T lymphocytes (CD3, CD4, CD8), B lymphocytes (CD19), and NK (natural killers, CD16). The test allows assessing the functional state of the immune system. 

When is it recommended? 

• Suspecting immunodeficiency (primary or acquired); 
• For chronic infections, autoimmune or oncological diseases; 
• After organ transplantation, chemotherapy, or immunosuppressive treatment; 
• Evaluating HIV infection (especially the amount of CD4 cells). 

Benefits: 

The test helps evaluate the body's ability to defend against infections, control chronic inflammations, and form an appropriate immune response. It allows making decisions regarding treatment or the need for additional tests. 

Important: 

Not only the concentration of each cell group is evaluated, but also their interrelationships. This provides a complete picture of the balance of the immune system.
