Resumo

Blood-based biomarkers may add a great benefit in detecting the earliest neuropathological changes in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined the utility of neurofilament light chain (NfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) regarding clinical diagnosis and differentiation between amyloid positive and negative patients. To evaluate the practical application of these biomarkers in a routine clinical setting, we conducted this study in a heterogeneous memory-clinic population.
