DIAGNOSIS OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

摘要

An elevated level of serum amyloid P component (SAP) in a sample of cerebrospinal fluid from a subject relative to the level of SAP found in samples of cerebrospinal fluid from healthy individuals and/or individuals with a neurological disease other than Alzheimer's disease is indicative of Alzheimer's disease. Measurement of levels of SAP in cerebrospinal fluid enables diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and/or monitoring of the progress of the disease.
