Blood Test Might Show Early Warning of Alzheimer’s disease Although doctors can use brain scans or spinal taps to detect Alzheimer’s in patients with symptoms, there’s no way to test for the disease in seemingly healthy individuals. THURSDAY, Aug. 1, 2019 (HealthDay News) A simple blood test helped pinpoint the early signs of Alzheimer’s in a new study. Up to two decades before people develop Alzheimer’s symptoms such as. That’s why a new early warning system, requiring just a small blood sample and giving several decades of warning, could be revolutionary.

The new process works using mass spectrometry to ionise and scan blood for a particular peptide or amino acid compound thought to be linked to amyloid beta concentrations. While a lot more testing is required to verify the link, it’s a promising start. A blood test for Alzheimer’s might be just two years away.

Abdul Hyeat King’s College London and his colleagues have identified 10 proteins in blood that can predict who will develop Alzheimer’s.
