Objective
To study the changes of biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) dementia and Alzheimer
’
s disease.
Methods
Levels of amyloid protein β (Aβ
42
Aβ
40
) and phosphorylated Tau-protein (P-tau) in CSF and ratio of Aβ
42
/Aβ
40
were tested in 5 cases with CAA dementia and 20 cases with Alzheimer’s disease collected at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from December 2001 to March 2011.
Results
The levels of Aβ
42
Aβ
40
and P-tau in CSF and ratio of Aβ
42
/Aβ
40
were (660.4±265.2) ng/L
(7111.0±1033.4) ng/L
(71.8±51.5) ng/L
and 0.077±0.033
respectively in CAA dementia and (663.6±365.6) ng/L
(5115.0±2931.1) ng/L
(47.7±38.8) ng/L
and 0.192±0.140
respectively in Alzheimer’s disease patients. There were no statistically significant differences between CAA dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in terms of these CSF biomarkers (all
P
>
0.05).
Conclusion
Measurements of CSF biomarkers may not be helpful in differential diagnosis of CAA and Alzheimer’s disease.
