GLUCOSE Glucose transferred to CSF through carrier mediated diffusion Normal CSF/PLASMA glucose is 0.6-0.8 in premature infants >0.8 lag period of 2 hrs after iv glucose load and 6 hrs for peak value to return to normal ! Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that flows around the brain and spinal cord, surrounding and protecting them. III. The patient is able to sluggishly answer questions. Critical values/courtesy alerts: Below 40 mg/dL, above 200 mg/dL: CPT code(s): 82945 Note: The billing party has sole responsibility for CPT coding. Blood Glucose Test. However, note that CSF results should always be interpreted with the clinical picture in mind. Examine the CSF collected using a bright white light source for general appearance. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) A 22-year-old male presents with altered mental status, fever, and headache. STUDY. EM in 5 blog (http://em-in-5.blogspot.com/) is a series of 5 minute Emergency Medicine lectures on high yield topics! Abnormal lumbar puncture results of CSF pressure, protein and glucose are either decreased or increased values measured in relationship to normal values assigned by the laboratory conducting the test. CSF Interpretation. Current guidelines for management of bacterial meningitis define hypoglycorrhachia as ratios below 0.3 to 0.4 after the neonatal period ( Tunkel et al., 2004; Chaudhuri et al., 2008 ). Thus, the CSF glucose content is always somewhat lower than that of serum - the ratio is about 0.6. Collection of CSF. with immunofixation of IgG to detect oligoclonal bands. Chris is an Intensivist and ECMO specialist at the Alfred ICU in Melbourne. The AHP will observe the procedure in its entirety at least once. CSF ANALYSIS INTERPRETATION 2. There was an age-related increase in CSF glucose concentrations (Table 2, Fig 2C). Cloudy and turbid CSF (if severe). Composition of Normal CSF • Protein - 15 - 45 mg/dL Glucose - 50 - 80 mg/dL Urea - 6.0 - 16 mg/dL Uric acid - 0.5 - 3.0 mg/dL Creatinine - 0.6 - 1.2 mg/dL Cholesterol - 0.2 - 0.6 mg/dL Ammonia - 10 – 35 μg/dL This is not the case for viral meningitis, where the glucose level is normal. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that flows around the brain and spinal cord, surrounding and protecting them. Thus, the CSF glucose content is always somewhat lower than that of serum - the ratio is about 0.6. Ceribrospinal Fluid Analysis is a very important investigations in all laboratories. C. all values are consistent with a normal healthy individual. Urgent indications for lumbar puncture include suspected central nervous system infection or subarachnoid hemorrhage. 2 days. CSF RBC is in /mm 3; Blood RBC is in mil/mm 3; 1e6 means 1 x 10 6 = 1,000,000. For accurate interpretation of CSF glucose concentration, serum glucose should be evaluated in serum samples collected about 2 hours prior to spinal tapping (allow time for equilibrium) and all specimens (CSF and serum) should be tested immediately to avoid glycolysis. We present a practical overview on the dif-ferential diagnosis of a low CSF glucose and stress the importance of recognizing a low CSF glucose as the diagnostic marker for GLUT1 deficiency syndrome, a treatable neurometabolic See also: Meningitis Lumbar Puncture This guideline is to help with the interpretation of CSF results for the purpose of diagnosing or excluding meningitis. Under normal conditions, the composition of CSF remains constant. CSF WBC count greater than 1000 cells/microL. CSF testing (particularly of proteins) can also be used in the diagnosis of demyelinating diseases such as Guillain-Barre syndrome and multiple sclerosis. The main pathologies occur when the CSF glucose is lower than normal. 4 No reports are available on the variation of blood and CSF glucose over a 24-h period in response to meals, and, thus, on the interpretation of CSF results in the non-fasting state. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is collected by performing a lumbar puncture on your patient. Opening pressure: 10-20 cm H 2 O. WBC count: 0-5 cells/µL (< 2 polymorphonucleocytes [PMN]); normal cell counts do not rule out meningitis or any other pathology. References. (Burt 1993) Reference values for normal CSF levels are shown in Table 1. 14.7 Variations of CSF constituents in bacterial, viral and fungal infections Pathogen CSF Appeara nce CSF Glucose (mmol.L-1) CSF Protein (mg.dL-1) CSF Cells per mm 3 Bacterial Opalescent,cloudy, purulent, clotting Reduced or absent 0 ± 2.5 Increased 50 ± 1000+ 500 ± 2000 Mostly polymorp hs Tuberculous meningitis As above + fibrin web Appearance: cloudy and turbid Opening pressure: elevated (>25 cm H ₂ O) WBC: elevated >100 cell/µL (primarily polymorphonuclear leukocytes (>90%)) Glucose level: low (<40% of serum glucose) Protein level: elevated (>50 mg/dL) Aetiology. Higher ranges could indicate pre … Critical Value. Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis. The protein content in normal CSF does not exceed 50mg/dl and CSF glucose is 50-70 % of serum glucose … A CSF analysis is a group of tests that evaluate substances in CSF in order to diagnose conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). He is a co-founder of the Australia and New Zealand Clinician Educator Network (ANZCEN) and is the Lead for the ANZCEN Clinician Educator Incubator programme. There are many other considerations that become relevant, especially when the concern for traumatic tap muddies our diagnostic picture. In 1993 The Nijmegen Observational CSF Study was started. Leukocytes (WBC): 0–5/µL (adults / children); up to 30/µL (newborns). Cerebrospinal fluid protein concentration. Ten patients had CSF analysis for general markers such as total protein, cell count, glucose, clarity, and color. Interpretation should be made by an individual experienced in the technique used. Under the direct Raised protein >1.5 g/L. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced in choroid plexus of brain ventricules and in subarachnoid pial surface. CENTRAL nervous system disease is often reflected by changes in the composition of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). At least 2 mL required for immunoglobulin studies. The patient is able to sluggishly answer questions. Collect 1.5-2 cc. Cerebrospinal fluid examination. This guideline aims to help with the interpretation of CSF results for the purpose of diagnosing or excluding meningitis. If there are high proteins in the CSF. B. the whole blood glucose value should be higher than the serum value. You can asses this ppt for your routine laboratory work. Cytology. Interpretation guide: CSF glucose concentration should be ~60% of plasma/serum glucose value. Pain is elicited when attempting to fully extend the … The CSF glucose levels ranged from 16.2 to 50.5 mg/dL and were at or below the 10th percentile for all 147 patients. Consider additional tests: CSF culture, others depending on … A blood glucose test is a blood test that screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. Cerebrospinal Fluid CSF Up to 50% of neonates with meningitis may have negative blood cultures!! N/A. CSF analysis, … CSF findings in specific diseases Bacterial meningitis. [2, 3] Lactate dehyrogenase: 1/10 of serum level. CSF is a major fluid in the body. A blood glucose test is a blood test that screens for diabetes by measuring the level of glucose (sugar) in a person’s blood. Syphilis serology: negative. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shows characteristic findings in various diseases. ›. Higher CSF glucose levels could represent a compensatory mechanism against tau deposition or a neurodegeneration biomarker. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) A 22-year-old male presents with altered mental status, fever, and headache. Cerebrospinal Fluid Analysis. CSF protein tests are usually ordered when there is suspicion of a condition affecting the SNC, of an infectious disease such as meningitis or of bleeding in the spinal fluid. Discussing the subtleties of CSF interpretation is outside the scope of this article, but it is important to remember that the analysis of WBCs in the CSF should not occur in a vacuum. Noninfective CSF contains maximum 5 wight blood cells (WBC) in a mm 3. Under the direct CSF analysis is not necessarily diagnostic but can be useful in the … Interpretation: Results suggested that higher fasting CSF glucose predicted less regional tau, but only among individuals at greater risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). The CSF profile may include an elevated protein concentration and a lymphocytic pleocytosis; a very high protein concentration suggests a CSF block. For example, if a CSF had a WBC count of 700/uL, CSF/blood glucose ratio of 0.2, CSF Lactate of 32 mg/dL and a CSF protein of 42 mg/dL, then the overall likelihood ratio is 729, which is calculated by multiplying 15 x 18 x 3.0 x 0.9. 6,7 However, to the best of our knowledge, the association of CSF TNF-α levels with longitudinal changes in brain glucose metabolism (reflecting neuronal and synaptic function) over time has not been investigated among non-demented older people. 4 No reports are available on the variation of blood and CSF glucose over a 24-h period in response to meals, and, thus, on the interpretation of CSF results in the non-fasting state. Higher ranges could indicate pre … CSF-Provides nutrition, removes waste, and protects CNS ... Meningitis causes drop in CSF glucose- due to bacterial and leukocyte activity May draw glucose 30-60 min before tap to correlate. A traumatic LP will alter the CSF leukocyte count and protein concentration, while the gram stain, culture and glucose level may not be influenced. CSF glucose 56 mg/dL (3.1 mmol/L) The best interpretation of these results is that: A. the whole blood and serum values are expected but the CSF value is elevated. Glucose transporter: (GLUT-1 defect) Paired CSF and plasma glucose analyses. All those cells eat it right up. Blood Glucose Test. Glucose moves into the CSF by facilitate ransport, and is then sucked back out again by the walls of the CSF cisterns. Specific NAA for meningitis, ie, meningococcal, pneumococcal and Haemophilus influenzae. CSF pressure results can also provide useful information – a high CSF pressure with normal CSF may indicate cerebral venous thrombosis. CSF Glucose does not usually rise above 300 mg/dl. Normal CSF should be crystal clear and colourless. Non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia, and serine deficiency disorders: Paired CSF and plasma amino acid analysis. Specific gravity: 1.006–1.009. This assumption is based on a study with a single intravenous bolus of glucose. Opening CSF Pressure* (cmH 2 O) Normal 10-20 Normal/slightly high High High/very high High *CSF pressure ≥25cmH2O = intracranial hypertension (idiopathic, meningitis, intracranial haemorrhage, tumours etc) NB: in bacterial meningitis patients who have had antibiotics prior to LP, CSF may be more lymphocytic and have a normal glucose There may be a 2–4 hour lag in the CSF level when compared to the blood level. Thus, a patient with a BSL of 10mmol/L will be expected to have a CSF glucose of 6mmol/L. View in Chinese. The CSF protein level was 3174 mg/dl (normal range 15–45 mg/dl), CSF glucose level was 104 mg/dl (normal range 40–0 mg/dl), and CSF lactate level was 38 mg/dl (normal range 10–22 mg/dl). Minimum Collection Volume. Granulomatous process. A second lumbar puncture should be performed if clinical suspicion of leptomeningeal carcinomatosis is high. Gram stain: negative. Thus, a patient with a BSL of 10mmol/L will be expected to have a CSF glucose of 6mmol/L. Test Name Ordering Code Result Code Component Name LOINC Code AOE Prompt Units; Glucose, CSF: 3400030: 3400030: Glucose, CSF: 2342-4: No: Need Help? He is also the Innovation Lead for the Australian Centre for Health Innovation at Alfred Health and Clinical Adjunct Associate Professor at Monash University.. It's a series of lab tests performed on a sample of CSF. Interpretation Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels may be decreased in any central nervous system infection, although levels are typically normal in viral meningitis, low in bacterial meningitis, and may be normal or low in fungal meningitis. Whilst not diagnostic, low glucose levels, as compared to plasma levels, are seen in bacterial meningitis, cryptococcal meningitis, malignant involvement of the meninges and sarcoidosis. CSF glucose concentration, CSF/serum glucose ratio and lactate. Reference ranges may vary between labs Normal results in adults Appearance: Clear Opening pressure: 10-20 […] Initial Competence 1. Previous CSF analysis report was not available with the patient for comparison. CSF Lactate. Passive flexion of the neck leads to spontaneous contraction of the hips. Cytology fails to detect tumor cells in 30 to 50% of patients. Culture: sterile. Identifying the types of cells present in a cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimen provides valuable diagnostic information. Initial Competence 1. Newborns: Listeria monocytogenes, E. Coli, Group … 0.5 mL. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear fluid circulating in the intracranial and spinal compartments. Interpretation of results. Cell count is high (>1,000 per mm 3) and mostly neutrophils. PLAY. Specimen Stability. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced by the choroid plexus in the lateral, third, and fourth ventricles and circulates through the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater. Syphilis serology: negative. A CSF analysis is a group of tests that evaluate substances in CSF in order to diagnose conditions affecting the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). WCC <5 per mm 3 (higher in neonates up to 20 per mm 3). It is produced by the choroid plexus of the two lateral ventricles. Additional Test Codes. 40 – 75 mg/dL. Csf analysis 1. All those cells eat it right up. N/A. Interpretation: Results suggested that higher fasting CSF glucose predicted less regional tau, but only among individuals at greater risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD). It also contains glucose (sugar), proteins, and other substances found in the blood. The use of CSF for other purposes (including the diagnosis of specific neurological conditions, subarachnoid haemorrhage or malignancy) is outside its scope. CSF/S glu = 0.4. Cytology fails to detect tumor cells in 30 to 50% of patients. Causes of bacterial meningitis include:. The median CSF glucose concentration was 45 mg/dL for infants ≤28 days of age (5th percentile value: 35 mg/dL; lower bound: 25 mg/dL) and 47 mg/dL for infants 29 to 60 days of age (5th percentile value: 37 mg/dL; lower bound: 27 mg/dL; Table 1). Nucleic acid amplification test was negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis. …independent confirmation. Normally there are minimal cells in CSF: white blood cells <5/µL and red blood cells … Lactate dehyrogenase: 1/10 of serum level. Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation … CSF Interpretation. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, watery liquid that flows around the brain and spinal cord, surrounding and protecting them. If CSF is from lumbar puncture, see CSF Culture with Gram Stain [CSFC]. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a way of looking for conditions that affect your brain and spine. This allows CSF to deliver nutrients to the brain and spinal cord. Rejection Criteria. The CSF glucose concentration should be compared to a matched blood glucose. Therefore, normal CSF glucose levels lie between 2.5 and 4.4 mmol/L (45–80 mg/dL). Normal values (CSF): CSF opening pressure: 50–180 mmH 2 O Glucose: 40–85 mg/dL. CSF analysis may aid in the diagnosis of meningitis, multiple sclerosis, intracranial hemorrhage, or meningeal carcinomatosis. Examination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reveals elevated opening pressure, lymphocytosis, elevated protein concentration, and decreased glucose concentration. Study design: Data were collected prospectively as part of a multisite study of infants aged <6 months undergoing lumbar puncture for evaluation of suspected sepsis. Analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a fundamental component in diagnosing central nervous system (CNS) infection. Leukocytes (WBC): 0–5/µL (adults / children); up to 30/µL (newborns). 50-100 mg). Interpretation Guides & Forms; Education; Specimen Collection and Transport; Order Supplies; Interface Map for GLCSF. It level would be low in bacterial or TB meningitis as the bacteria take up glucose for energy. There may be a low glucose …. No organisms. Protein (total): 15–45 mg/dL. This assumption is based on a study with a single intravenous bolus of glucose. EM in 5 blog (http://em-in-5.blogspot.com/) is a series of 5 minute Emergency Medicine lectures on high yield topics! Normal levels are about 2/3 the concentration of blood glucose. The CSF to blood glucose ratios ranged from 0.19 to 0.59 and were at or below the 10th percentile for 139 of 152 patients (91%), but they could be within the normal range as well. This test is intended for the aerobic and anaerobic culture of CSF obtained from shunts, or from subdural, subgaleal, subarachnoid, or meningomyelocele sites, or if aerobic and anaerobic culture is required. The use of CSF for other purposes (including the diagnosis of specific neurological conditions, subarachnoid haemorrhage or malignancy) is outside the scope of this guideline. The glucose level in CSF is proportional to the blood glucose level and corresponds to 60-70% of the concentration in blood. Appearance Normal clear and colorless. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is an important tool in the diagnostic work-up of many neurological disorders, but reference ranges for CSF glucose, CSF/plasma glucose ratio and CSF lactate based on studies with large numbers of CSF samples are not available. Test Code CFGLU CSF Glucose Clinical Indications. Normal blood glucose level (while fasting) range within 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L). Opening CSF Pressure* (cmH 2 O) Normal 10-20 Normal/slightly high High High/very high High *CSF pressure ≥25cmH2O = intracranial hypertension (idiopathic, meningitis, intracranial haemorrhage, tumours etc) NB: in bacterial meningitis patients who have had antibiotics prior to LP, CSF may be more lymphocytic and have a normal glucose CSF Glucose is two thirds of Serum Glucose. Meningococcal disease. Cerebrospinal Fluid Results (CSF) Interpretation. 5-15 mL divided between three sterile plain tubes. Noninfective CSF contains maximum 5 wight blood cells (WBC) in a mm 3. A glucose analysis of CSF samples collected from infants <90 days with suspected meningitis was paired between tests by using a POC glucometer (POC-CSF glucose) and a laboratory glucose analysis (laboratory-CSF glucose). Objective: To determine reference ranges of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) laboratory findings in term and preterm infants in the neonatal intensive care unit. Normal blood glucose level (while fasting) range within 70 to 99 mg/dL (3.9 to 5.5 mmol/L). Interpretation: Decreased CSF Glucose (Hypoglycorrhachia) Hypoglycemia. Lactate: less than 35 mg/dL. Passive flexion of the neck leads to spontaneous contraction of the hips. Bacteria l … Pain is elicited when attempting to fully extend the knee while his hips are at a 90 degree angle. Normal CSF glucose concentration is 50–60% of serum values (class IV). It is worth making a point of writing all these results together in the notes to aid interpretation. Specimen Availability for Add-on Testing. CSF glucose levels are normally about 60% of blood glucose … It surrounds the brain and spinal cord to provide cushioning and protection. Decreased levels (45 mg and lower), are seen in meningitis, meningealcarcinoma and sometimes in intracranial hemorrhage. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis is a diagnostic tool for many conditions affecting the central nervous system. Consider additional tests: CSF culture, others depending on … Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear, colorless fluid produced in the brain. Glucose level is <50% of the plasma level. Examine the CSF fluid for a blood-tinged appearance. Neurologists need to consider the results of all other tests performed as part of the CSF panel (eg, cell count; protein, glucose, and lactate levels; and others). CSF Glucose/Blood Glucose (%) Preterm 55-105 Term 44-128 Child about 50 Cell Count % PMN's Preterm 0-25.4 WBC/mm3 57 Term 0-22.4 WBC/mm3 61 > 1 month 0-7 0 V. Competency Assessment A. Interpretation. To date there is no evidence that use of this formula can fully exclude meningitis, one of the primary indications to perform a lumbar puncture. It is best to hold the second tube against a white paper background so as to detect any subtle color changes. N/A. Because glucose is actively transported across the blood–brain barrier the CSF glucose levels are directly proportional to the plasma levels and therefore simultaneous measurement in CSF and blood is required. Normal values (CSF): CSF opening pressure: 50–180 mmH 2 O Glucose: 40–85 mg/dL. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose test measures the amount of glucose, or sugar, present in the fluid. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted. This is performed if the doctor suspects certain conditions such as meningitis or subarachnoid haemorrhage. CSF glucose. Cloudy CSF is due to: Infection when WBCs are >200 /cmm. Glucose level: >60% of serum glucose. However, in various neurological disease especially in acute conditions, the composition, quantity and its pressure can be altered. Lactate: less than 35 mg/dL. For this reason, analysis of CSF should include a differential cell count if the total WBC count is elevated (>5-20 WBC/µL in children and adults or >30 WBC/µL in infants aged less than 1 year). Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is produced in choroid plexus of brain ventricules and in subarachnoid pial surface. Summary. A normal CSF lactate argues strongly against, but does not exclude, a mitochondrial encephalopathy. Protein level: < 45 mg/dL. The interpretation of a low CSF glucose in patients with a chronic neu-rologic disorder, however, is a less common practice. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a clear and colorless fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord with a density ranging from 1.003 to 1.008 which allows the brain to “float” in the fluid. More CSF should be collected if a special study such as globulin immunoelectrophoresis is required. The protein content in normal CSF does not exceed 50mg/dl and CSF glucose is 50-70 % of serum glucose … Culture: sterile. Glucose level - 60-80% of plasma glucose. Once CSF return is obtained, the stylet can be replaced half way into the needle while the test tubes are obtained from the tray. Antimicrobial guidelines. Glucose levels may decrease when cells that are not normally present metabolise the glucose.
