Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive dementia that commonly occurs in the aged population. It has been estimated that 5–10% of the population over the age of 65 have some cognitive signs of AD (1). Diagnosis of AD remains problematic as clinical examination is only about 80% accurate. To date, no ante mortem biochemical tests have been found which unequivocally indicate a diagnosis of AD.
