Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear fluid coursing in the intracranial and spinal compartments. By estimating the levels of various CSF components utilizing relevant techniques, diagnosis, severity and prognostication of neurological conditions like infections, subarachnoid hemorrhage, demyelinating conditions, tumor like conditions, etc. can be done.Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) provides an extremely valuable matrix for biomarker research for several purposes such as diagnosis, prognosis monitoring and identification of prominent leads in pathways of neurological disease.
