Blood, as seen in subarachnoid hemorrhage. If its pathologically yellow due to the breakdown of hemoglobin in blood, its called xanthochromia.
junk99 Hemoglobin is in blood...not spinal fluid. It's the stuff red blood cells use to carry iron.
No, its not in the blood stream but in the spinal fluid. ?
Blood, urine, sweat, stomach acid, mucus, saliva, and spinal fluid.
yes
Cerebral spinal fluid
The outer layers of protective tissue that holds the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) in place are the meninges. If they are damaged, CFS can leak out.
Cerebral spinal fluid is supposed to provide nutrition to the brain and spinal cord. It is secreted from the arteries and drains into the veins. That is how the blood flows. From high pressure arteries to low pressure veins. In between the fluid goes to interstitial compartment. Here the spinal fluid is like the interstitial compartment.
The fluid that allows the brain to take in nutrients and remove wastes with blood is called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This clear, colorless fluid surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing protection and support to these vital organs.
Blood
Ideally, cerebrospinal fluid should not contain blood. The presence of blood in cerebrospinal fluid can indicate a potential injury or bleeding within the brain or spinal cord. It is important to investigate the cause of the blood in the cerebrospinal fluid to determine the appropriate treatment.
Spinal fluid leaks can be caused by punctures or disease in the spinal cord.
