Ventricular volume in relation to lumbar CSF levels of amyloid- β 1–42, tau and phosphorylated tau in iNPH, is there a dilution effect?

ConclusionsThe findings did not support a major dilution effect in iNPH, at least not in females. The only result in favor for dilution was a weak negative correlation between VV and A β42 but not with the other lumbar CSF biomarkers. The different results between males and females suggest that future investigations of the CSF pattern in iNPH would gain from sex-based subgroup analysis.
