Hello, I had my Lumbar done on Thursday, I have some of the results.

Can anyone tell me what they mean???

My opening pressure was 33 my closing pressure was 16
my WBC 6 * H *
my RBC 2 * H*

is this good or bad I have seen so many different numbers to reference them on and I'm getting very frustrated...

Your red blood count is a little high and so is your white blood count. This could be from a spinal injury or from the needle hitting a blood vessel. I don't see any information about oligoclonal bands. This is the typical indicator for MS or other diseases.

This report seems to not contain any evidence for MS. Was a blood sample taken at the same time?

Hello Gretchen,

Yes,
there was lab work done , this is the only information that has come back. they did a full panel for the spinal tap, so I have no other info at this time.
