CSF Protein

:Normal range

Premature : 15-130 Mg/dl

New born : 40-120 Mg/dl

1month : 20-80 Mg/dl <

1month : 15-40 Mg/dl >

Comment: Increased in disease leading to the “influx syndrome” (i.e. break-down of the blood-CNS barrier), such as meningitis, encephalomyelitis. Excessive concentrations of total CSF proteins are seen in Froin’s syndrome (protein >5000 mg/dl), clotted CSF specimens, xanthochromia, or in the presence of free blood
