Could a simple ratio make Alzheimer's diagnosis more certain?

NCT ID NCT02770482

Summary

This study tested if measuring a protein called Aβ40 in spinal fluid, along with other known markers, could make diagnosing Alzheimer's disease more accurate. It involved 204 people with memory problems who were undergoing standard diagnostic tests. The goal was to see if this new measurement helps doctors be more confident in their diagnosis when other test results are unclear.
