Fluid Analysis-CSF

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis evaluates the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord for features such as cell counts, protein, glucose, microorganisms, and other chemical or microscopic changes. It may be used to help assess suspected infections, inflammation, bleeding, or conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. Results are interpreted together with symptoms, medical history, examination findings, and other tests.
