Alzheimer's is basically memory impairment and caused by brain cell(Neuron) death. It is a neurodegenerative disease, which means there is progressive brain cell death which leads to shrinking of brain.

CAUSES OF ALZHEIMER’S:

  • ·       There are no scientific reasons.
  • ·       Increment of Amyloid, Tavo products in brain is one of the reason.
  • Reasearch is still going on the reasons for Alzheimer’s.

TESTS:


  •       Firstly, a person’s Medical history is analysed.
  •    Physical and neurological exam is performed to analyse overall neurological health by testing reflexes, muscle strength, coordination,  speech, sense of sight and hearing, etc.

3.    Blood tests are done to measure levels of Alzheimer’s protein Amyloid beta in the blood and use such levels to predict whether the protein is accumulated in the brain or not.

4.    A standard medical test for Azheimer’s is structural imaging with Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) or Computed Tomography(CT).These tests are done to find out tumors, small or large strokes, head trauma or a buildup of fluid in the brain.

5.    Genetic testing:

·  A blood test for APOE-e4,is the strongest risk gene for Alzheimer’s,is done to identify whether a person is most likely to be developing Alzheimer’s or not.


·       A test is also available for genes that are responsible for Autosomal Dominant Alzheimer’s Disease(ADAD).

  • .    PET(Positron emission Tomography)  SCAN:
This scan helps to find out plaques in the brain.

Alzheimer's test PET

CONTROL:

There are three ways to control Alzheimer’s.They are the following:

1.      Medicine:

·  There is no medicine to completely cure  Alzheimer’s.

·   But some medicines are available to reduce the effect of Alzheimer’s.
