INDIVIDUAL TEST 997

Beta Amyloid Ratio 42/40

Indication

In memory investigation, Alzheimer's disease

Method

Chemiluminescence

Result

The result is reported as a ratio.

Reference interval: > 0.72 ( > 50 years of age).

Interpretation

Beta amyloid 40 is the most common variant of beta amyloid in CSF, while beta amyloid 42 predominates in senile plaques. Decreased ratio of Beta amyloid 42/40 is a strong marker of Alzheimer's disease and can be detected early in the disease progression, even before clinical dementia occurs.

ENSKILD ANALYS 997

Beta Amyloid kvot 42/40

Indikation

Vid minnesutredning, Alzheimer’s sjukdom

Metod

Kemiluminescens

Resultat

Svaret rapporteras som en kvot.

Referensintervall: >0.72 ( >50 års ålder).

Tolkning

Beta amyloid 40 är den mest förekommande varianten av beta amyloid i likvor, men beta amyloid 42 dominerar i senila plaques. Sänkt kvot Beta amyloid 42/40 i likvor kan påvisas redan tidigt i sjukdomsförloppet av Alzheimers sjukdom, även innan klinisk demens föreligger och är av värde för att urskilja Alzheimer från andra former av demens.
