Course objectives
The goal of theoretical part considering the subject of laboratory diagnosis of neurological diseases is to become familier with the modern conception of cerebrospinal fluid analysis.

It is neccesssary to provide information related to indications and above all interpretations of results of the particular methods considering clinical units.
Learning outcomes
A student will be able to do the following upon completing the course: Understand the medical meaning of biochemical and cytological findings in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF); Differentiate between the composition of cerebrospinal fluid and blood serum; Recognize possible discrepancies in biochemical and cytological findings; Explain the importance of following recommended preanalytical procedures.
Syllabus
  • Anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system Sampling of cerebrospinal fluid Cytological examination of cerebrospinal fluid - quantitative and qualitative Biochemical examination of cerebrospinal fluid The importance of determining total protein in the cerebrospinal fluid Examination of energy metabolism Function of blood brain barrier Expression of intrathecal antibody synthesis Clinical case studies
