Experts from the Mayo Clinic in the United States have provided further evidence that blood tests can work to accurately diagnose dementia, by examining two proteins in blood plasma.
These proteins – amyloid beta 42/40 and p-tau217 – are associated with amyloid plaque build-up, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
