Blood test may revolutionise treatment of Alzheimers disease | BBC News
Scientists say a simple blood test may revolutionise the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
A study has found that measuring the levels of a protein in the blood can identify people at risk of developing symptoms of the disease including memory loss and confusion, years before they occur.
It’s hoped that will lead to screening of people in their 50s, allowing early detection and treatment.
Two recently developed medicines have been shown to significantly delay progress of the disease, so early identification of people at risk could offer people huge benefits.
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia affect many millions of people around the world and ageing populations mean they are on the increase.

An Israeli air strike on a town in southern Lebanon has killed six people, including three paramedics, according to Lebanon’s health ministry.
It comes as the US said the two countries had agreed to a 45-day ceasefire.
The health ministry said a fourth paramedic had sustained “critical injuries” after a civil defence centre was attacked in the town of Harouf.
The Israeli military told the BBC it had “identified” and “eliminated” two “Hezbollah terrorists”, adding “steps were taken to mitigate the risk of harm to civilians”.
