I just got my results back from LabCorp where they did the CD-57 test. I am not sure what these numbers mean and my Doctor is out of the office till Monday so I was hoping maybe someone could shed some light.
I see CD8-CD57 Lymphs Result 2% then underneath that I see CD8-CD57 Lymphs Result 30L /ul
Thank you for your help.

Yes, I'd like to know what all the numbers mean, on the entire panel. I just ordered one and I'm waiting for the results. I'd like to not look like a moron when the results arrive and my N.P. looks at me and says "Ok, so you got your test......what's it mean?"

In my non-professional opinion, it means you need to be Txd. It's very low.
Mine was 1% & 26.
I believe under 200 is the indicator. They find that it goes up & down a little during treatment and the minor up & down isn't diagnostically significant. It will make a big jump when effectively treated.
At least that's MY understanding of it.
