What is Albumin, CSF?

The Albumin, CSF test measures the amount of albumin protein present in your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds your brain and spinal cord. This test helps assess the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.

Why is this test important?

Elevated albumin levels in CSF can indicate inflammation, infection, or other conditions affecting the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis. It provides important information for diagnosing neurological disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required, but the sample collection (lumbar puncture) is a medical procedure performed by a healthcare professional.
