Abstract

225 consecutive patients with different neurological diseases and 101 individuals as the control were examined between 2002-2004. Cystatin C, arginase-I, tau-protein and beta-amyloid were measured. Individuals with CNS inflammation had significantly lower Cystatin-C index (CSF/serum) values. There was no diagnostic significance of the Arginase-I assay in CSF was verified. The CSF tau-protein/beta-amyloid index was shown to be a sufficient efficacy for neurodegenerative disease diagnosis.
