My father is very old. In recent years, his health is getting worse and worse. His hands and feet often shake unconsciously, and even he starts to walk slowly. Later, he took him to the hospital and found that he had Parkinson's disease. Today, let me learn with you what the correct examination method for Parkinson's disease is.

What is the right way to check Parkinson's disease

First, positron emission tomography (PET) or single photon emission tomography (SPECT) can show that the function of DA transporter, the synthesis of Da neurotransmitter and the activity of D2 type DA receptor in striatum are significantly decreased in the early stage of Parkinson's disease, and the activity of D2 type DA receptor is hypersensitive in the early stage and low sensitive in the late stage.

Second: at present, there is no specific instrument that can directly detect Parkinson's disease. The most important diagnosis still needs to rely on the rich clinical experience of neurologists, as well as from the medical history, instrument investigation, physical examination, medication and other aspects to make another investigation and diagnosis.

Third: auxiliary examination generally needs to take CT or other examination equipment, Parkinson's examination is the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) can be detected in cerebrospinal fluid and urine HVA (homovanillic acid) content decreased, brain CT can have sulcus widened, ventricle expanded.
