FDA approved Blood test for Alz diagnosis
Big news in Alzheimer’s care: The FDA has just approved the first-ever blood test to help diagnose Alzheimer’s disease.
This game-changing test measures specific proteins in the blood linked to early signs of Alzheimer’s, reducing the need for expensive PET scans or invasive spinal taps. It’s a simpler, less stressful option for patients showing signs of memory loss or cognitive decline, especially older adults.
While it’s not meant to be a stand-alone diagnostic tool, this blood test makes early detection more accessible and less intimidating. Combined with a full clinical evaluation, it’s a powerful new step toward faster answers, earlier support, and better planning for individuals and families.
