What is NSE Neuron Specific Enolase CSF?

This test measures Neuron Specific Enolase (NSE) levels in your cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds your brain and spinal cord. Elevated NSE in CSF can indicate damage to nerve cells within the central nervous system.

Why is this test important?

Measuring NSE in CSF is valuable for assessing neurological damage, such as after a stroke or brain injury, and for diagnosing certain central nervous system tumors. It aids in understanding the extent of neuronal injury or disease activity.

How to Prepare

Follow your doctor's instructions for the lumbar puncture procedure required to collect the CSF sample.
