Frequently asked questions
In which conditions is CSF protein elevation altered?
In the OSMF atlas CSF protein elevation is reported in Lyme Disease. It is elevated in 1 across 1 entries.
What is the LOINC code for CSF protein elevation?
Entries in this atlas use LOINC 2880-3. LOINC codes identify the laboratory observation so results can be compared across systems.
Is one abnormal CSF protein elevation 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.
