The Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Glucose Test measures the level of glucose in the cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Glucose is an essential energy source for brain function, and its levels in CSF can help diagnose infections, neurological disorders, and metabolic conditions affecting the central nervous system.
Purpose of the Test
This test is commonly used to detect central nervous system infections, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal meningitis. It also helps identify brain tumors, inflammation, or metabolic conditions that may alter glucose levels in the CSF.
