CSF tau
• Increased tau predicts AD pathology at autopsy
• tau increased when symptoms are very mild
• Increased tau not present in all patients with AD

Is CSF tau elevated early (before the
onset of dementia symptoms) in the
pathology of Alzheimer’s disease?
CSF tau in MCI

Is More better than Less?
Are two biomarkers better than one?
• CSF tau and -amyloid
• CSF tau and F2 isoprostane
• Some other combination

CSF tau as a biochemical Marker of Alzheimer’s Disease?
Ability to detect a fundamental feature of AD neuropathology
Validated in neuropathologically confirmed AD cases
Ability to detect AD early in its course
Ability to distinguish AD from other dementias
Reliable
Non-invasive, simple and inexpensive
The Gold Standard
