| CSF Protein (Measured) (mg/dL) | |
| Serum Protein (Measured) (gram/dL) | |
| Hematocrit (%) | |
| CSF RBC's (Measured) (mm^3) | |
| Blood RBC's (millions of cells/mm^3) | |
The formula to correct for this is: Corrected Protein in CSF = Measured Protein CSF - (SProt × 1000 × (100-Hct/100) × CSFRBC/BRBC)
SProt = Serum protein in grams/dL
Hct = Hematocrit in %
CSFRBC = RBC’s found in CSF/mm 3
BRBC = RBC’s in peripheral blood in cells/mm 3
