About test
What does Chloride-CSF measure?
The Chloride-CSF test measures the level of chloride, an important electrolyte, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It may be used alongside other CSF tests to help assess conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord, including possible infections, inflammation, or changes in fluid balance. Results are interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory or imaging findings.
