The diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is not easy. Developments in basic research have indicated pathophysiological links among parkinsonian syndromes that are still classified as independent entities. On the other hand, genetic studies are dividing forms that fit into the clinical diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. The diagnostic criteria used in current practice are by no means satisfactory, but cannot yet be replaced by new comprehensive criteria based on laboratory evidence.
帕金森病的诊断并非易事。基础研究的进展表明,目前仍被归类为独立疾病实体的帕金森综合征之间存在病理生理联系。另一方面,遗传学研究正在划分符合帕金森病临床诊断的类型。当前临床实践中使用的诊断标准远不能令人满意,但基于实验室证据的新的综合标准尚未能够取而代之。
