How did Parkinson find out
summary
Parkinson's disease is a common disease in the elderly. Many elderly people don't understand the examination methods of Parkinson's disease and have doubts about their own conditions. Here I will tell you how to find out Parkinson's disease, hoping to help you.
How did Parkinson find out
One: blood cerebrospinal fluid examination: the level of dopamine decreased, and the concentration of its metabolite homovanillic acid decreased. The contents of 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolites and - hydroxyindoleacetic acid, dopamine β - hydroxylase, somatostatin and - aminobutyric acid in cerebrospinal fluid were decreased.
Second: 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.
Third: functional imaging detection: 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.
matters needing attention
The above comprehensive examination can accurately determine whether the patient has Parkinson's disease. Once the patient is diagnosed as Parkinson's disease, it is necessary to choose scientific treatment as soon as possible, so that the patient can get the best rehabilitation.
