What this test measures

This section shows the biological marker/agent measured by this diagnostic test. Each marker/agent opens its own page with related conditions. Detailed reference ranges are shown separately in the Reference ranges and concentrations section below, so they are not repeated here.

Reference ranges and concentrations

These ranges are pulled from the existing EH diagnostic-test reference range tables. They can vary by laboratory, method, age, sex, sample type and clinical situation.

Biological marker/agent / concentration	Reference range	Unit	Age	Gender	Category / test group
Albumin (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	56 – 76	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Alpha-1-Globulin (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	2 – 7	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Alpha-2-Globulin (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	4 – 12	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Beta-Globulin (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	8 – 18	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Gamma-Globulin (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	3 – 12	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
IgG (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	0 – 5	mg/dL	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
IgM (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	0 – 0.017	mg/dL	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Oligoclonal Bands (Cerebrospinal Fluid, CSF)	0 – 1	Not Present	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Prealbumin	2 – 7	%	All	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
