Hi all!

What is the latest scientific theory about cause of the high CD8 and inversed CD4/CD8 ratio? In my case CD8 is far above the high limit, since 2 years I started to monitor them. For CD8 the upper normal limit is 811 while I have 1259. The CD4 is in my case 866 leading to an abnormal inverted ratio for CD4/CD8 = 0.69.
What is the cause of this? What does the last scientific theory say?

Regards,
Sorin
