Alzheimer's: Thousands to trial blood tests for dementia
Quick Glance: Nationwide Blood Test Trials Aim to Enhance Alzheimer's Diagnosis
  • A variety of individuals in the UK will have the opportunity to participate in studies that could potentially revolutionize the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s.

  • The blood tests could be ready for use in the NHS within five years as part of a drive to fix the nation’s low diagnosis rate.

  • The University College London and the University of Cambridge will lead the trials to investigate affordable tests for proteins in individuals at early stages of dementia and those experiencing mild or progressive memory issues.

  • The tests could offer results to patients significantly earlier and speed up the introduction of new Alzheimer’s medications dependent on early diagnosis.
