The Facts: Part 1

Most people know that Alzheimer's is a disease that affects a persons memory, but the disease is more complex than just forgetting things. 


Diagnose

• An evaluation includes a complete health history, physical examination, neurological and mental status assessments, analysis of blood and urine,  and possibly a CT or MRI etc.

• Alzheimer’s with up to 90 percent accuracy, requires examination of brain tissue using an  autopsy.

 

Procedures

• An evaluation including a medical history, a mental status evaluation, a clinical examination and laboratory tests are apart of the procedure to diagnose the disease.

Declare the past, diagnose the present, foretell the future.
