Test for Alzheimer's disease

To test for Alzheimer's disease, doctors must first rule out other conditions, because there is no one definitive test to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease with 100% certainty. Research is underway on several promising news tests to diagnose Alzheimer’s. The early symptoms, which include forgetfulness, memory loss and lack of concentration, are often missed because they resemble natural signs of aging, so it is important to see a doctor as soon as you notice any Alzheimer’s warning signs.
