A member asked:
Can creutzfeldt-jakob disease be found by blood tests?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Diagnosis is made by clinical history and the exclusion of other potential look alikes. Brain biopsy is the gold standard, but this is clearly to be avoided. Diagnosis supported by MRI findings, CSF 14-3-3 protein and eeg findings.
