Abstract
The article presents a study which examines the range of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) total protein concentrations found in confirmed subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) to establish if the CSF total protein value can give further guidance on the likelihood of SAH. Data of the study were collated retrospectively from consecutive CSF spectrophotometry specimens received at five different hospital sites for xanthochromia in Great Britain. Results of the study are discussed.
