It’s clinically useful because pH outside the normal range is indicative of a significant problem. Mammalian physiology operates in a pretty narrow pH range with many processes maintaining it.

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