Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disease and the most common cause of dementia. It usually develops gradually and affects memory, orientation, language, judgement and the ability to manage everyday tasks.

Description of the condition

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most common cause of dementia. Early changes often involve learning and retaining new information, but language, orientation, planning, judgement and behaviour may also be affected as the disease progresses.

What happens in the brain?

The disease is associated with abnormal accumulation of amyloid-beta and altered tau proteins, synaptic dysfunction and gradual loss of nerve cells. These biological changes begin before symptoms become obvious, but diagnosis always requires clinical context rather than a single test result.

Assessment and treatment

Assessment includes medical history, cognitive and functional evaluation, medication review, physical and neurological examination, blood tests and usually brain imaging. Biomarker tests may be used in selected cases. Treatment can include symptom-relieving medication, management of other health conditions, cognitive rehabilitation, activity, environmental support and guidance for relatives.
