Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis is a diagnostic method of examining the properties of CSF obtained via a procedure called lumber puncture. By examining CSF, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord, physicians can detect infections, bleeding, and other abnormalities. CSF analysis involves measuring protein, glucose, and cell counts. It is essential for diagnosing diseases like meningitis and multiple sclerosis.
