Description
Azadeh Feizpour and a large team of co-authors published a study in 2025 on whether a blood test can stage Alzheimer's disease as well as brain scans do. Scans sort patients into stages from initial to advanced, which guides treatment choices. A blood marker that mirrors those stages would be far easier to use.
They studied 475 adults, a mix of healthy and impaired, who had blood tests plus amyloid and tau scans. The blood marker rose steadily across scan stages, apart from the two earliest, which it could not separate. It screened for intermediate and advanced stages with strong accuracy. Staging by blood draw may soon spare many patients two scans.
