T Cell Count

    Last Updated: October 13, 2024

    T-lymphocytes are a subset of white blood cells that mediate active immunity, and their reduction with immunosuppressants precedes an increased risk of getting sick. Conversely, elevating T-cells is thought to support the immune system (but may aggravate autoimmune disorders).
