Percentage of CD4 Positive Lymphocytes
The CD4 percentage is worked out by dividing the number of CD4+ T cells by the total number of lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, and multiplying by 100.
Why it matters: The CD4 percentage can be useful in situations where the absolute CD4 cell count may be less reliable, such as another condition affecting the total lymphocyte count, or in children, pregnant people and adults over retirement age.
