Reply to comment by NergalMP in Does the cerebral spinal fluid of people with Alzheimer's have a notably different pH from 'normal' people's? by wrhollin

  1. pH changes in bodily fluids are often clinically useful
  2. I don't really care about pH in CSF.
  3. I doubt it's a good test for Alzheimers, as we would presumably all be doing it if a $20 investigation could detect the condition. The linked article isn't very relevant to everyday clinical medicine.

Sorry, I meant it can be clinically useful outside the specific CSF/Alzheimer’s question. I’m sure it’s irrelevant to that.
