生物学指标与阿尔茨海默病的诊断

摘要

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia. But so far, most patients of clinical identified Alzheimer's disease are mostly at the intermediate or advanced stage. No effective treatment is available to reverse existing deficits or to arrest disease progression. The prospect of effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease lies in early identification and early intervention. A series of recent studies has increased our opportunity to identify early Alzheimer's disease in patients.%阿尔茨海默病(Alzheimer's disease,AD)是痴呆中最常见的类型.到目前为止,临床诊断的AD患者基本都已经处于中晚期,已没有可明显逆转已有损害或终止疾病进展的有效治疗措施.因此,治疗AD的希望在于早期识别和早期干预.近年来,一系列新的生物学指标研究有助于阿尔茨海默病的早期识别.
