Alzheimer's Disease
About This Test
Alzheimer's disease occurs when abnormal proteins accumulate in the brain, forming amyloid plaques and tau tangles. These changes damage and kill brain cells, leading to a steady decline in cognitive function.

Individuals experiencing confusion, difficulty with thinking, planning, or performing daily activities. People with a family history of Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia. Those whose family members or friends have noticed significant changes in their memory, behavior, or personality. Individuals with risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, or a history of cardiovascular disease.
