The concentration of tau protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is above the upper limit of normal.
Comment:
CSF tau protein concentration is typically investigated by immunoassay or mass spectrometry of a CSF sample obtained via lumbar puncture. CSF total tau (t-tau) is considered a biomarker of neuronal degeneration
PMID: 40883301
QUESTION: Why total tau? Does one also measure some other type of tau concentration?
