What does Glucose, Fluid measure?
This test measures glucose (sugar) levels in a body fluid other than blood. It may be used to help assess certain conditions affecting areas such as the brain and spinal cord, joints, chest, or abdomen, depending on the fluid being evaluated. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, other laboratory findings, and imaging or clinical examination when needed.
