Alzheimer's Biomarkers

Alzheimer's biomarkers are measurable indicators in the body that help identify the presence of Alzheimer's disease. These can be proteins in the brain, such as amyloid plaque and tau tangles, which are linked to the disease. Other biomarkers may be found in cerebrospinal fluid or detected through advanced imaging techniques. By assessing these biomarkers, doctors can diagnose Alzheimer’s more accurately, predict its progression, and tailor treatment plans. Understanding these markers is crucial for early detection and monitoring of the disease, ultimately aiming to improve patient care and outcomes.
