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.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Leukocytes	0 – 5	/µL	Adult ( > 16y)	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Cerebrospinal Fluid Leukocytes	0 – 20	/µL	1y - 6y	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Cerebrospinal Fluid Leukocytes	0 – 30	/µL	Newborn (0 - 1month)	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
Cerebrospinal Fluid Leukocytes	0 – 10	/µL	6y - 16y	Both	Cerebrospinal Fluid Studies / Lumbar Puncture
