The normal pH of cerebrospinal fluid is around 7.33-7.41. Bile typically has a slightly alkaline pH ranging from 7.6 to 8.6.
There is a very wide range of severity for different cases of multiple sclerosis; it can cause only minor problems such as a reduced sense of balance, all the way to complete paralysis. Most people who have multiple sclerosis are able to participate in normal social functions. Even in a relatively severe case, in which the person is confined to a wheelchair, it is still possible to participate in most social functions. Some social functions, such as dancing, would become impossible. But travel, earning a living, using a computer, and so forth, remain possible.
Yes, potassium is found in normal cerebrospinal fluid at levels similar to those found in blood plasma. It plays a role in maintaining the electrical potential of neurons and helping regulate neuronal activity.
Normal findings will show the bones of the orbit intact, and will show similarity between the orbit that is being studied and the unaffected orbit

The finding are not normal (what they should be).
Normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is colorless and clear, with consistency similar to water. It is composed of glucose, electrolytes, proteins, and various cells, including lymphocytes. It provides cushioning and support to the brain and spinal cord, and helps remove waste products from the central nervous system.
Normal findings indicate no evidence of any pathologic or disease conditions.
Normal blood findings are 56 to 190 IU/L.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is typically a sterile fluid, meaning it should not contain any normal flora. The presence of bacteria in the CSF is abnormal and can indicate an infection, such as meningitis.
The concentration of glucose is typically higher in plasma (blood) compared to cerebrospinal fluid because glucose is actively transported from blood into the brain. Normal CSF glucose levels are around 60-70% of plasma glucose levels.
The only way to determine the pH of cerebrospinal fluid is for the doctor to do a lumbar puncture. This involves putting a needle into the space between the vertebrae or bones in the back. The fluid that comes out is called cerebrospinal fluid, and it gets sent to a medical laboratory for testing.
