Tests

Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Analysis

A cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis tests a sample of your CSF for diseases that affect the brain and spinal cord, which make up your central nervous system. Your central nervous system controls and coordinates everything you do, including your ability to move, breathe, see, think, and more.

Tests

Beta 2 Microglobulin (B2M) Tumor Marker Test

A beta-2 microglobulin tumor marker test measures the amount of a protein called beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) in your body fluids. The test usually uses a sample of your blood. It may also be done using urine (pee) or in rare cases cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Tests

CSF Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Index

CSF stands for cerebrospinal fluid. IgG stands for immunoglobulin G. It is a type of antibody. Antibodies are proteins that your immune system makes to fight germs . A CSF IgG index measures the levels of IgG in your cerebrospinal fluid.
