Where is there an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid?
I think your confused. The fact is that there is an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid. This is common to people how have multiple sclerosis. I think the real question is :WHY is there an elevated level of myelin basic protein in the cerebrospinal fluid hope this helps:)
What has the author J F Hallpike written?
J. F. Hallpike has written: 'Enzyme and protein changes in myelin breakdown and multiple sclerosis' -- subject(s): Degeneration, Multiple sclerosis, Myelin sheath, Nervous system
What causes a elevated C-reactive protein and elevated bilirubin?
hepatitis
Can allergies cause elevated protein in your blood?
no
Is too much protein bad in the cerebrospinal fluid?
Yes. Increased protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can indicate inflammation or some other disorders. It may indicate an infection, such as meningitis. Other conditions, such as Multiple sclerosis, have increased proteins in the CSF.
High intake of protein can cause what?
Elevated blood cholesteol
If my son has reactive protein high in his blood what does that mean?
The most common cause of elevated C reactive protein is infection.
What is the most recent scientific discovery?
I get a newsletter with at least 20 new discoveries in one day. However one stood out since I am interested in MS.By combining a brain-protein gene and an existing medication, the researchers were able to prevent the mouse version of multiple sclerosis. Likewise, the treatments produced near-complete remission in the animal models. The findings, which researchers said have significant potential for treating multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune disorders, are published in the journal Molecular Therapy.
Is there a risk of spinal stenosis surgery with Multiple Sclerosis?
These are two different problems. Multiple Sclerosis is where areas in the brain and spinal cord lose their protein insulation, and Spinal stenosis is where there is an encroachment on the cord, usually occurring in the lower back area. This is to say that (most likely) arthritis occurs at the end plate (extreme bottom, or top of vertebrae, and the adding on of new bone to those areas causes the spinal canal to become smaller, eventually resulting in pressure on the spinal cord.
Why would it be beneficial to know if a person with a respiratory infection has elevated levels of this protein in his or her blood?
C
What does elevated albumin mean?
Elevated albumin levels in the blood can indicate dehydration, kidney disease, or an inflammatory condition. It may also be a sign of excessive protein intake or certain types of cancer. Further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of the elevated levels.
Are there tests to find if you have multiple myeloma?
Protein Electophoreis, serum and Urine. It reveals Bence Jones Protein.
