CSF amyloid and tau
A spinal-fluid test can support an Alzheimer’s biology question in specialist clinics.
Overview
CSF ratios are established in memory clinics that run lumbar puncture. They require skilled collection and agreed cut-offs.
- Microneedle patch: interstitial fluid
- Dried blood spot, urine, saliva
- Blood draw every three months
- A trend line, weekly or better
How it works
Lumbar puncture measures amyloid-beta and tau species in cerebrospinal fluid.
