Frequently asked questions

In which conditions is CSF glucose altered?

In the OSMF atlas CSF glucose is reported in Lyme Disease. It is mixed in 1 across 1 entries.

What is the LOINC code for CSF glucose?

Entries in this atlas use LOINC 2340-8. LOINC codes identify the laboratory observation so results can be compared across systems.

Is one abnormal CSF glucose result diagnostic?

No single biomarker result is diagnostic of any of these conditions. Findings reflect group averages from published cohorts with substantial overlap between patients and controls.
