| Popis: | Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers remain the gold standard for fluid-biomarker-based diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) during life. Plasma biomarkers avoid lumbar puncture and allow repeated sampling. Changes of plasma phospho-tau-181 in AD are of comparable magnitude and seem to parallel the changes in CSF, may occur in preclinical or predementia stages of the disease, and may differentiate AD from other causes of dementia with adequate accuracy. Plasma phospho-tau-181 may offer a useful alternative to CSF phospho-tau determination, but work still has to be done concerning the optimal method of determination with the highest combination of sensitivity and specificity and cost-effect parameters. |
