Leak From Nose (For Rhinorrhoea) (Glucose + Protein)
Also Known As:
CSF For Rhinorrhea
About This Test
This test is performed on nasal fluid to determine whether the fluid leaking from the nose is normal nasal secretion or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
The presence of glucose and protein in nasal discharge helps identify CSF rhinorrhoea, which occurs when there is leakage of brain/spinal fluid due to a skull-base defect.
