INDIVIDUAL TEST 987

pTau-181

Indication

Alzheimer's disease, memory examination 

Method

SIMOA (single molecule array), tested in EDTA-plasma. 

Result

The result is reported as pg/mL.  

Interpretation

Plasma pTau-181 ≥ 45.0 pg/ml support further investigations when Alzheimer's disease is suspected. The cut-off represents 99th-percentile of 150 healthy individuals. 

The result should be combined with other investigations as well as clinical symptoms for the final diagnosis.
