New Test Could Detect Alzheimer’s Early

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A new blood test could help doctors diagnose patients before Alzheimer’s symptoms start to show.

The test screens for proteins linked to the disease. It shows high accuracy in early detection, which doctors say is key to treatment plans.

The test is less expensive and could help change the trajectory of the disease.

While the test is currently available for research-use only, researchers expect it to be available for clinical-use soon.
