CSF ROUTINE ANALYSIS
What does CSF ROUTINE ANALYSIS measure?
CSF routine analysis evaluates cerebrospinal fluid for its appearance, cell counts, protein, glucose, and other basic characteristics. It may be used to help assess conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord, including possible infection, inflammation, bleeding, or other neurological disorders. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory or imaging findings.
