A member asked:
Is this normal spinal tap if negative?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Test is not perfect: Spinal tap looks at the cells, proteins, electrolytes and glucose levels in spinal fluid. Depending on the reasons for the test, some conditions are readily diagnosed, while others are suggested. It's difficult to know from the question what a negative result means.
