Tau in dementia with Lewy bodies

CONCLUSIONS: Tau is a common co-pathology in dementia with Lewy bodies. Plasma p-tau181 correlated with abnormal tau and amyloid-beta positron emission tomography and may potentially be used as a marker to identify co-morbid Alzheimer's disease-related pathology in dementia with Lewy bodies. The clinical implications of tau in dementia with Lewy bodies need to be further evaluated in larger longitudinal studies.PMID:37264610 | DOI:10.1177/00048674231177219
