Find Clarity About Your Neurological Symptoms
When clear fluid drains from your nose or you experience persistent headaches after an injury, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The Beta 2 Transferrin Fluid Test provides the definitive answers you need to address potential cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks with confidence and peace of mind.
Understanding Your Beta 2 Transferrin Fluid Test
This specialized test detects a specific protein called Beta 2 Transferrin that is only found in cerebrospinal fluid. When this protein appears in nasal or other bodily fluids, it confirms a CSF leak – a condition where the protective fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord is escaping. Our advanced electrophoresis and immunofixation methods provide the gold standard in detection accuracy.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide crucial answers:
- Clear, watery nasal drainage that doesn’t resolve
- Persistent headaches, especially when upright
- Recent head trauma or sinus surgery
- Metallic taste in your mouth
- Recurrent meningitis episodes
- Feeling of fluid draining down your throat
Early detection is essential – untreated CSF leaks can lead to serious complications including meningitis and neurological damage.
