To estimate the mean influence of the main determinants of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentration of albumin and plasma-derived immunoglobulin G (IgG).
Correlations of serum and CSF concentrations of albumin and IgG and assumptions of the mode of action of the determinants (plasma concentration, barrier permeability, and CSF flow) are used to quantify the determinants' influences in a sample of 1700 patients.
We estimated in patients with normal CSF albumin that the serum concentrations of albumin and IgG explained 3.3% and 23% of the variation of the respective CSF concentrations, whereas the barrier permeability accounted for 41.9% and 22.2%, and CSF flow for 54.8%. In patients with pathologic CSF albumin concentration, the serum concentrations were estimated to explain 0.2% and 8.2% of the variation of the respective CSF concentrations, the barrier permeability 19.7% and 11.7%, and CSF flow 80.1%.
CSF flow had the strongest mean influence, especially at elevated CSF albumin levels. The serum concentrations and barrier permeabilities of albumin and IgG influenced the respective CSF concentrations quite differently, which should be due to the different physicochemical properties of the two molecules. Mean influences from large patient samples, as explored here, can give only an overview. Understanding the determinants in individuals will need further specific measurements, especially of CSF flow.
评估脑脊液(CSF)中白蛋白和血浆源性免疫球蛋白G(IgG)主要决定因素的平均影响。
利用白蛋白和IgG的血清与脑脊液浓度的相关性以及决定因素(血浆浓度、屏障通透性和脑脊液流动)作用模式的假设,对1700例患者样本中决定因素的影响进行量化。
我们估计,在脑脊液白蛋白正常的患者中,白蛋白和IgG的血清浓度分别解释了相应脑脊液浓度变化的3.3%和23%,而屏障通透性分别占41.9%和22.2%,脑脊液流动占54.8%。在脑脊液白蛋白浓度病理性升高的患者中,血清浓度估计分别解释了相应脑脊液浓度变化的0.2%和8.2%,屏障通透性分别占19.7%和11.7%,脑脊液流动占80.1%。
脑脊液流动的平均影响最强,尤其是在脑脊液白蛋白水平升高时。白蛋白和IgG的血清浓度及屏障通透性对各自脑脊液浓度的影响差异很大,这应归因于两种分子不同的物理化学性质。如本研究所探讨的,来自大量患者样本的平均影响只能提供一个概述。了解个体中的决定因素需要进一步的特定测量,尤其是脑脊液流动的测量。
