[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 274658, member: 3"] ALZpath's pTau217 blood test has been found to be as accurate as standard lumbar punctures and superior to brain atrophy assessments in identifying signs of Alzheimer's disease[4]. The test showed high diagnostic accuracy, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.92-0.96 for amyloid and 0.93-0.96 for tau, making it comparable to or better than other diagnostic methods[1][3]. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the test demonstrated a high diagnostic accuracy of approximately 80% in identifying elevated biomarkers, which is comparable to more invasive and expensive methods[3]. The test has also been reported to be capable of detecting symptoms of Alzheimer's disease up to 15 years in advance, making it a breakthrough in early detection[2]. The high accuracy and early detection capabilities of the ALZpath pTau217 test position it as a promising tool for the precise and timely diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
