title: [Clinical chemical investigation of selected laboratory parameters of cerebrospinal fluid and blood of health cattle].
abstract: Selected Parameters in cerebrospinal fluid of adult, healthy cattle of different breeds were analyzed. Group size amounted to 68. Liquor samples were taken by lumbosacral punction. At the same time blood was taken from the Vena jugularis for analysis of the same parameters as in cerebrospinal fluid. Classification into 3 groups based on the macroscopic aspect of the cerebrospinal fluid: clear-colourless, flaky-colourless, bloody-flaky. In the first group all parameters were analyzed in order to fix standard distribution. A range of standard values of every parameter in cerebrospinal fluid was defined after finding of runaways and narrowing of random sample to 95%. Standard values for the parameters were: TP 0.83-1.40 g/l, GLU 1.18-3.20 mmol/l, LAC 1.4-1.9 mmol/l, CK 0.2-18.7 U/l, GLDH 0.7-3.7 U/l, AST 3.2-12.8 U/l. Possibilities to integrate results from the other two groups into these standard values were shown. A linear correlation between cerebrospinal fluid and blood serum values was found to exist for GLU (r = 0.91), LAC (r = 0.55) and GLDH (r = 0.48).
