  2. CSF albumin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSF_albumin

    CSF albumin is a measurement used to determine the levels of albumin in cerebrospinal fluid. [1] A closely related test, CSF total protein is a measurement used to determine the levels of protein in cerebrospinal fluid. [2] [3] It combines the albumin, IgG, and other proteins. It can be useful in distinguishing among causes of Meningitis.

  3. Lymphocytic pleocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lymphocytic_pleocytosis

    Lymphocytic pleocytosis is an abnormal increase in the amount of lymphocytes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is usually considered to be a sign of infection or inflammation within the nervous system , and is encountered in a number of neurological diseases , such as pseudomigraine, Susac's syndrome, and encephalitis.

  4. Pandy's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandy's_test

    One drop of CSF sample (collected from the patient by lumbar puncture technique), is added to about 1ml of Pandy's solution. The turbid appearance signifies the presence of elevated levels of globulin protein in the CSF and is regarded as positive Pandy's reaction.

  5. Cerebrospinal fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebrospinal_fluid

    CSF is derived from blood plasma and is largely similar to it, except that CSF is nearly protein-free compared with plasma and has some different electrolyte levels. Due to the way it is produced, CSF has a lower chloride level than plasma, and a higher sodium level. [2] [6] CSF contains approximately 0.59% plasma proteins, or approximately 15 ...

  6. Froin's syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Froin's_syndrome

    Froin's syndrome – coexistence of xanthochromia, high protein level and marked coagulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It is caused by meningeal irritation (e.g. during spinal meningitis) and CSF flow blockage by tumour mass or abscess. [1]

  7. Oligoclonal band - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligoclonal_band

    Typically for an OCB analysis, the CSF is concentrated and the serum is diluted. After this dilution/concentration prealbumin appears as higher on CSF. Albumin is typically the dominant band on both fluids. Transferrin is another prominent protein on CSF column because its small molecular size easily increases its filtration in to CSF.

  8. CSF/serum albumin ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSF/serum_albumin_ratio

    CSF/serum albumin ratio is a test performed to compare the levels of albumin in the cerebrospinal fluid and the serum. It is useful as a measure of the integrity of the blood–brain barrier . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

  9. Glycine encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycine_encephalopathy

    All forms of glycine encephalopathy show elevated levels of glycine in the plasma, as well as in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). [ 1 ] : 793 Glycine concentrations in the CSF of affected patients are typically more markedly elevated than in plasma, leading to a corresponding elevation in the ratio of glycine concentrations in the cerebral spinal ...
