The FDA has given clearance to another blood test to help assess Alzheimer's disease and other causes of cognitive decline
Doctors will soon have another tool to
determine if someone has developed
Alzheimer's disease. The Food and Drug
Administration gave the green light to a
new blood test yesterday. RO Diagnostics
and Drug maker Eli Liy both developed
it. Officials say the test is geared
toward adults aged 55 and older who are
showing signs of cognitive decline. It
tests for high levels of a key protein
that is associated with Alzheimer's.
This is the second blood test of its
kind to be approved by the FDA this
year.
