What does csf in phlebotomy for?

In phlebotomy, CSF stands for cerebrospinal fluid. It is a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and protection. CSF is collected through a procedure called lumbar puncture (spinal tap) to diagnose conditions such as infections, bleeding, or neurological disorders. Analyzing CSF can help identify diseases like meningitis or multiple sclerosis.
