Description
Estimated cost for Lymphocyte Subset Analysis at general public hospitals in China is about ¥140-400, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥200-500, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
Lymphocyte subset analysis is primarily used to: 1. Evaluate the status of the immune system in patients with suspected immunodeficiency. 2. Monitor the effectiveness of treatments for conditions affecting the immune system, such as HIV. 3. Diagnose and monitor autoimmune diseases. 4. Assess the risk of infection in patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. 5. Investigate unexplained lymphocytosis or lymphopenia.
Normal Range
The normal range for lymphocyte subset analysis typically includes: CD3+ T cells (60-80% of total lymphocytes), CD4+ T helper cells (30-60% of total lymphocytes), CD8+ T suppressor/cytotoxic cells (20-40% of total lymphocytes), CD4/CD8 ratio (1.0-2.5), and B cells (5-20% of total lymphocytes). NK (Natural Killer) cells usually make up 5-15% of total lymphocytes.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values in lymphocyte subsets can be caused by: 1. Immunodeficiency disorders, such as HIV/AIDS or congenital immunodeficiencies. 2. Certain medications, including corticosteroids and chemotherapy drugs. 3. Bone marrow failure. 4. Severe infections, particularly viral, which can temporarily deplete specific lymphocyte populations. 5. Autoimmune diseases, where the immune system attacks its own lymphocytes.
