What does this test Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Test Immunohistochemistry

The Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Test Immunohistochemistry is a diagnostic test used to identify the presence of GFAP, a type of protein found in astrocytes in the central nervous system. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that provide support and protection for neurons in the brain and spinal cord.

This test is commonly used to help diagnose and differentiate between various neurological conditions, including brain tumors, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, and other disorders affecting the central nervous system. Elevated levels of GFAP in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid may indicate damage or injury to the brain or spinal cord.
