A member asked:

What does having an elevated csf protein level of 87 mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

CSF protein: An elevated CSF protein cannot be taken out of context without knowing the cell count and glucose. Overall, the CSF protein does increase somewhat with age and in diabetics.

Dr Machanic and 4 doctors agreed
