One: routine laboratory examination: generally in the normal range, individual can have hyperlipidemia, diabetes, abnormal ECG and other changes.

Second: blood cerebrospinal fluid examination: the level of dopamine decreased and the concentration of homovanillic acid decreased. The contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolites and - hydroxyindoleacetic acid, dopamine β - hydroxylase, somatostatin and - aminobutyric acid in cerebrospinal fluid were decreased. Routine laboratory examination: generally in the normal range, individual can have hyperlipidemia, diabetes, abnormal ECG and other changes.

Third: brain CT, MRI examination: generally no characteristic findings, elderly patients may have varying degrees of brain atrophy, ventricular enlargement, some patients with cerebral lacunar infarction, individual basal ganglia calcification. Functional imaging: pet or SPECT with specific radionuclide detection. In the early stage of the disease, the activity of D2 dopamine receptor can be detected, including early hypersensitivity (compensatory stage), late hyposensitivity (decompensated stage) and decreased synthesis of dopamine transmitter, which are valuable for early diagnosis, differential diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.
