Blood test accurately detects Alzheimer’s
A blood test has been proven to be up to 93% accurate at identifying early indicators of Alzheimer’s, offering an alternative to brain scans and spinal taps.
A team from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (MO, USA), have developed a low-cost and non-invasive blood test for the detection of Alzheimer’s disease. The blood test, which uses a high-precision immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry technique, has been found to be highly accurate for both cognitively impaired and unimpaired individuals.
