Overview

The purpose of the T Regulatory Cells (Tregs) test is to assess the quantity and function of Tregs in the blood, which are vital for immune regulation. This test helps diagnose autoimmune diseases, monitor treatment efficacy, evaluate immunodeficiencies like IPEX, predict graft versus host disease risk in transplant patients, and screen for certain malignancies. It provides critical insights into immune system health, guiding clinical decisions and personalized care.

Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of Tregs test results involves evaluating the levels and function of T Regulatory Cells in the context of clinical symptoms and other diagnostic findings.
Reduced Tregs levels: May indicate autoimmune diseases, primary immunodeficiencies, allergies, or asthma
Increased Tregs in donor stem cell grafts: Associated with reduced graft versus host disease post-transplant
Increased Tregs levels: Can be associated with certain malignancies
Absence of Tregs: Helps evaluate IPEX syndrome in patients with immune dysregulation symptoms
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor immediately if you experience symptoms such as chronic fatigue, joint pain and swelling, muscle weakness, skin rashes, fever, weight loss, or signs of organ damage, as these may indicate Tregs dysfunction or autoimmune conditions.

Risks & Considerations

  • Slight pain or bruising at the injection site
  • Rare risk of infection or excessive bleeding

What are the symptoms of Tregs dysfunction?
Symptoms include chronic fatigue, joint pain and swelling, muscle weakness, skin rashes, fever, weight loss, and organ damage.
How is the Tregs test conducted?
The test uses flow cytometry to analyze blood samples for markers like CD4, CD25, FOXP3, and CD45RA.
What is the cost of the Tregs test in India?
The cost is INR 13000, with free home sample collection available in many cities across India.
Is home sample collection available for the Tregs test?
