====== Cerebrospinal fluid total protein ======
 

Total [[protein]] levels in CSF are normally very low, and albumin makes up approximately two-thirds of the total. High levels are seen in many conditions including [[bacterial meningitis]] and [[fungal meningitis]], multiple sclerosis, tumors, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and traumatic tap.

[[Cerebrospinal fluid]] [[total protein]] (CSF-TP) × time ≥ 9,600 and GCS score <8 were independent risk factors for [[posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus]]. CSF-TP was higher in the PHH group than in the NPHH group
