summary

My grandfather is very old. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease before. In fact, when this disease first appeared, the characteristics were very clear. His limbs were shaking severely. Let's see how Parkinson's disease is diagnosed.

How is Parkinson diagnosed

One: brain CT, MRI examination: this examination is applicable to patients without obvious symptoms. Generally, elderly patients may have different degrees of brain atrophy, ventricular enlargement, some patients with cerebral lacunar infarction, and individual basal ganglia calcification.

Second: molecular biology examination: that is, biochemical detection of patients, this detection is using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which can detect the decrease of HVA content in cerebrospinal fluid and urine. DNA imprinting, PCR and DNA sequence analysis are used to detect gene mutations in a few familial PD patients.

Third: routine laboratory examination: this examination, if not suitable for Parkinson's patients, generally in the normal range, only a few can have hyperlipidemia, diabetes, abnormal ECG and other changes.

matters needing attention

If diagnosed as Parkinson's disease, we should treat it early and take medicine for a long time. We should also pay attention to the effect of taking medicine and the side effects of drugs, and adjust the medication plan in time to achieve the best control effect.
