Re: what is the difference of cd4 count and cd4 percentage and what do they measure Jul 22, 2003 You answered: > The percentage is the percent of t lymphocytes that are CD4 positive.< If this is true, then wouldn't a lower percentage be better than a higher percentage? Isn't it better to have LESS t lymphocytes that are CD4 positive? What is the normal range for CD4 percentage? |

 The normal CD4 count range is 500-1500 and the normal CD4 percentage is 35-50%. The lower the CD4 percent and count, the worse off the immune system is. | ||||||||
