CSF SUGAR

This diagnostic test by Hypro plays a pivotal role in identifying central nervous system infections by analyzing glucose levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the fluid enveloping the brain and spinal cord. Ordinarily, the blood-brain barrier serves as a protective shield, preventing the infiltration of germs into the brain. However, during illnesses, this barrier may become permeable, permitting bacteria, viruses, and other substances to access the spinal cord and brain, potentially causing severe infections and brain swelling. The comprehensive examination of CSF, including glucose levels, provides crucial insights for Hypro Diagnostics in detecting these infections and contributing to the overall diagnostic assessment of various neurological conditions.
