Healthy lifestyle changes and stress management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Comprehensive cognitive assessment
Neuropsychological testing to establish baseline and track cognitive changes that may correlate with amyloid burden and CSF findings.
Additional treatment options
Advanced neuroimaging
Amyloid PET scanning or volumetric MRI to complement CSF findings and provide in vivo visualization of amyloid deposition burden.
procedureDisease-modifying therapy consideration
If Alzheimer's disease diagnosis is confirmed, discuss FDA-approved amyloid-targeting therapies based on clinical presentation and biomarker profile.
