Beta-Trace protein(BTP) CSF leakage in body fluid
BTP (Beta-Trace Protein) CSF Leakage, Body Fluid and Serum Price
Beta-trace protein (BTP) is a small protein that is produced in the central nervous system, primarily by oligodendrocytes. It is also present in other tissues, such as the kidneys and the eyes.. It’s levels are high in CSF, with CSF to serum ratio of 34:1 In the body, BTP is found in low levels in several body fluids, , urine, and blood plasma. CSF leakage occurs when there is an abnormal communication between the CSF and the surrounding tissue, which can be caused by several factors, including trauma, infection, or surgery. BTP can be used as a marker for CSF leakage, as it is only present in CSF and is not normally found in other body fluids. Beta trace protein is better alternate marker to beta-2 transferrin.However in cases of decreased kidney functions (low GFR) BTP levels in serum may rise.
