De nya blodproven för att diagnostisera Alzheimers sjukdom ger allt bättre möjligheter till tidig diagnos, men en utmaning är att markörerna som mäts förändras långt innan symtom utvecklas. Forskning ledd från Lunds universitet visar nu att en tidigare inte använd blodmarkör kan, när den kombineras med dagens blodmarkörer, betydligt minska risken för att personer får missvisande besked om sjukdom.
