Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is often clinically diagnosed from the history of the patient, the history of his/her relatives and also from clinical observations based upon the presence of certain neurological and neuropsychological characteristics. It is also diagnosed from the absence of alternate conditions.

Nowadays with the advanced medical imaging through Ct scans and MRI, it has become easy and helpful to diagnose the type of dementia and leave out the other cerebral pathology.
The neuropsychological diagnosis of Alzheimer’s including memory tests and evaluation of functioning of the brain helps to determine the type of dementia. The medical organizations have formed a diagnostic criterion to make the process of diagnosis easy and standard for the practicing physicians. If the brain material is available for examination, then the diagnosis can be confirmed.

Glutathione, the essential body protein is known to help people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. If a good glutathione level is present in the body, then many symptoms of the disease are known to be suppressed. Stable glutathione level can also help to reduce the progression rate of the disease.
