The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biochemical markers (biomarkers) Amyloidβ 42 (Aβ), total Tau (T-tau) and Tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau) have proven diagnostic accuracy for mild cognitive impairment and dementia due to Alzheimer's Disease (AD). In an effort to improve the accuracy of an AD diagnosis, it is important to be able to distinguish between AD and other types of dementia (non-AD). The concentration ratio of Aβ to Aβ (Aβ Ratio) has been suggested to be superior to the concentration of Aβ alone when identifying patients with AD. This article reviews the available evidence on the use of the CSF Aβ ratio in the diagnosis of AD. Based on the body of evidence presented herein, it is the conclusion of the current working group that the CSF Aβ ratio, rather than the absolute value of CSF Aβ, should be used when analysing CSF AD biomarkers to improve the percentage of appropriately diagnosed patients.
脑脊液(CSF)生化标志物(生物标志物)β淀粉样蛋白 42(Aβ)、总 Tau(T-tau)和 Tau 磷酸化在苏氨酸 181 位(P-tau)已被证明对因阿尔茨海默病(AD)导致的轻度认知障碍和痴呆具有诊断准确性。为了提高 AD 诊断的准确性,能够区分 AD 和其他类型的痴呆症(非 AD)非常重要。当识别 AD 患者时,Aβ 与 Aβ 的浓度比(Aβ 比值)已被证明优于 Aβ 的浓度。本文回顾了 CSF Aβ 比值在 AD 诊断中的应用的现有证据。基于本文提出的证据,当前工作组的结论是,在分析 CSF AD 生物标志物时,应使用 CSF Aβ 比值而不是 CSF Aβ 的绝对值,以提高适当诊断患者的比例。
