FLUID FOR BETA 2 TRANSFERRIN

Beta-2-transferrin screening serves as a crucial diagnostic tool in Hypro Diagnostics for detecting cerebrospinal fluid leaks and identifying CSF fistulas, particularly in ENT, neurosurgery, and traumatology. This specialized test involves analyzing various body fluid samples, such as oral or nasal discharge, to detect the presence of beta-2-transferrin, a protein typically present in low concentrations in normal cerebrospinal fluid but absent from blood. To ensure accuracy, the test requires both the body fluid sample and a serum sample to eliminate potential interference from serum-based beta-2-transferrin. Detecting this specific protein aids Hypro Diagnostics specialists in precisely identifying leaks or fistulas, enabling accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
