I recently received a detailed look into my CSF analysis from December and there are two things that I am questioning.
I am going to post up my whole report but what caught my eye were my levels of WBC and protein.
I must note at the time of my LP i was having speech problems followed by bowel dysfunction which my now neurologist has said was a relapse.
Lets hope right into it..
CSF Total Volume 9.5ml
CSF Appearance Clear
CSF Colour Colourless
CSF Suoernat Colourless
CSF WBCs 28
CSF RBC 1
CSF Lymphs 0.98
CF Other Cells 0.02
CSF Glucose 3.2 mmol
CSF Protein 0.90 g/l
CSF Albumin 0.52 g/l
CFS IGG 0.163 g/l
CSF IGG?Alb Ratio 31
ALB Index 12.4
IGG INdex 108
Serum IGG 12.2 g/l
I've read that protein levels in CSF & WBC found in Multiple Sclerosis patients are usually slightly elevated. For Protein that would be 60-75 m/l and any thing over 100 should be given great consideration for an alternate diagnosis as well as anything over 50WBC.
Has anyone else experienced protein levels and a WBC this high?
