A method is described to diagnose (1) renal salt wasting syndrome and (2) Alzheimer's disease among dementia patients by measuring a patient's level of prostaglandin D2 synthase. Methods are also described to (1) treat renal salt wasting syndrome, (2) inhibit the rate of apoptosis or (3) prevent the onset of, or slow the rate of, progression of Alzheimer's disease. These methods involve inhibiting the rate of -DELTA12prostaglandin J2 synthesis or by inhibiting the activity of -DELTA12prostaglandin J2. |
