Hemoglobin is in blood...not spinal fluid. It's the stuff red blood cells use to carry iron.
Blood, as seen in subarachnoid hemorrhage. If its pathologically yellow due to the breakdown of hemoglobin in blood, its called xanthochromia.
Spinal fluid leaks can be caused by punctures or disease in the spinal cord.
It usually means whomever was performing the lumbar puncture or "spinal tap" missed the sub-dural space where the spinal fluid is located. It may also be that the patient was dehydrated or was leaking CSF (cerebral-spinal fluid) thus making it very difficult to obtain a sample.
What would happen if your spinal fluid was impinged
Normal spinal fluid pressure is 12
Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)
Pregnant women and people with cirrhosis have extra fluid, which dilutes the blood, decreasing the hemoglobin. Dehydration concentrates the blood, increasing the hemoglobin.
cerebral spinal fluid cushions, protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord.
No, spinal fluid cannot be lost from the rectum. Spinal fluid, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is contained within the spinal canal and surrounding the brain and spinal cord. If there is a leak of spinal fluid, it typically occurs through the dura mater, the protective covering of the spinal cord, often due to injury or medical conditions, but this would not manifest through the rectum. If someone experiences unusual symptoms, they should consult a healthcare professional.
Cerebral spinal fluid
spinal fluid
The term refers to the removal or disappearance of the cerebral-spinal fluid -- a serum-like fluid inside your spinal column and skull. I've not heard this exact term used before -- pretty obscure phrasing.
