Scientists found out a new method for detecting Alzheimer’s disease earlier. According to recent research a blood test is introduced to detect Alzheimer’s disease earlier which is accurate and can help in early detection of disease.
Amyloid and lumipulse proteins are found in blood and through tests the ratio of these two proteins commonly known as pTau217 and beta amyloid is measured.
Amyloid plaques role in Alzheimer’s disease:
According to health reports, amyloid plaques abnormally accumulate in the brain , especially in the areas which are responsible for memory formation.
● Amyloid plaques disturb synaptic response commonly known as presynaptic and postsynaptic response of the brain. Through disturbance it can result in Alzheimer’s disease.
● These amyloid plaques when abnormally accumulate in the brain become responsible for neuron loss that can result in Alzheimer’s disease.
Through this beta amyloid plaques are responsible for Alzheimer’s disease. They also trigger inflammatory responses in brain cells that can result in memory loss.
Benefits of new test:
The new test can predict the ratio of amyloid and p_tau 17 proteins. According to leading data this test is accurate and provides effective information about chances of Alzheimer’s disease in patients. Another advancement of this test is it measures the protein known as MTBR tau-43 in blood. This protein detects if the patient has early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or late.
This method is highly effective other than other scans in which information about disease time is not effective. According to scientists the new blood test can predict early and late symptoms and it can also help in early recovery from Alzheimer’s disease as it detects disease early. It can also help doctors to understand the cause of disease and it can save patients time from other tests.
According to research mutations in the APP genes also increase the production of amyloid in the brain . Amyloid in the brain disturbs the normal functioning of the brain and can result in memory loss as it affects cerebellum and other parts of the brain. Scientists have developed anti amyloid antibodies that can protect the brain from memory loss and development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Summary:
Scientists develop new methods for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease. This method can help doctors to understand the disease more effectively and also it saves time from other diagnosis tests. Blood tests can also track the spread of Alzheimer’s disease and through this doctor can adjust their treatments accordingly.
It can also differentiate between Alzheimer’s and dementia hence it provides effective results. According to scientists it’s almost 90% accurate but the test needs to get approved by regulatory bodies.
