Abstract EN
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most frequent form of dementia and represents one of the main causes of disability among older subjects.
Up to now, the diagnosis of AD has been made according to clinical criteria.
However, the use of such criteria does not allow an early diagnosis, as pathological alterations may be apparent many years before the clear-cut clinical picture.
An early diagnosis is even more valuable to develop new treatments, potentially interfering with the pathogenetic process.
During the last decade, several neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) parameters have been introduced to allow an early and accurate detection of AD patients, and, recently, they have been included among research criteria for AD diagnosis.
However, their use in clinical practice suffers from limitations both in accuracy and availability.
The increasing amount of knowledge about peripheral biomarkers will possibly allow the future identification of reliable and easily available diagnostic tests.
