Serum and Cerebrospinal Fluid Levels of S-100 β Is A Biomarker for Spinal Cord Injury; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Conclusion: The results of the present systematic review and meta-analysis show that measuring the level of S-100Β protein in serum and CSF has a potential value in diagnosis of SCI in animal models. This biomarker increases during the initial 6 hours following injury and remains high until 24 hours after that. However, more than 24 hours after the injury, serum level of this protein returns to the level of animals without SCI. PMID: 31432029 [PubMed]
