Scientists say a new blood test could help us detect Alzheimer's earlier, paving the way for cheaper diagnosis.
Alzheimer’s is a terrible disease, eating away at the memories that we hold dear. While we have seen a lot of success in recent years in finding ways to slow the progression of the disease, finding better ways to detect Alzheimer’s earlier is still one of the biggest priorities for many scientists. Now, a new blood test could pave the way for cheaper, quicker diagnosis.
The problem, though, is that finding proof of these markers is painful and challenging. It often requires a lumbar puncture or even expensive brain imaging. While we have seen a lot of success with As such, being able to detect them through a blood test could make it easier to diagnose Alzheimer’s in the earlier stages of the disease, without costing patients a small fortune in the process. This disease can already cost patients a ton just to try to slow down. But, if you can’t even afford to detect it, you’re starting the battle at a huge disadvantage.
