The Blood Test Breakthrough (when it comes to diagnosing Alzheimer's disease)

Hello Alzheimer’s host Karla Hult talks with Dr. Alicia Algeciras-Schimnich, Professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic, about all those new Alzheimer’s blood tests. Dr. Algeciras-Schimnich addresses every aspect of this exciting new diagnostic tool: From how the blood tests work, to who should be tested, to why the blood tests may also play a critical role in developing more Alzheimer’s treatments. Honestly, if you’ve missed some of these developments – or simply felt intimidated by the science – you’re not alone. But this conversation with one of the world’s top Laboratory Medicine and Pathology experts will demystify the medicine while also explaining why this development should give all of us… Hope.
