Description
Sebastian Palmqvist and co-authors test a blood test for Alzheimer disease in a 2025 study. Nine hundred forty people with early memory complaints gave blood in primary and specialist care. A combined score from two blood markers was judged against spinal fluid results, using cutoffs fixed in advance.
The score sorted patients with high accuracy in both settings, near ninety percent correct calls on either side. It beat primary care doctors, who were right fifty-eight percent of the time, and dementia experts at seventy-four percent. Repeat testing in fresh batches held up. Readers get strong evidence that blood tests can streamline memory clinic work.
