Blood-based Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease at the Primary Care Level.

Summary

The goal of this study is to determine how blood biomarker tests (ptau217 and ptau217/Aβ42) performed in primary care influence the patient trajectory in individuals with cognitive concerns. Participants will provide a blood sample for biomarker testing and undergo clinical assessments as part of diagnostic evaluation.

Interventions

• ptau217 · DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

  Quantitative measurement of Tau phosphorylated at threonine 217 (pTau 217) in human K2EDTA plasma.
