New Blood Test Detects Alzheimer's with 90% Accuracy

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have developed PrecivityAD2, a new blood test that detects Alzheimer’s disease with 90% accuracy. This test simplifies early diagnosis by analyzing key Alzheimer’s-related proteins in blood samples, offering a less invasive and more affordable alternative to traditional methods like PET scans and lumbar punctures. Early detection is crucial to managing Alzheimer’s, which affects millions worldwide. Despite its promise, the test’s availability may vary by region, and further validation is necessary to ensure its global applicability.
