translated from german Physicians newspaper, 16.01.2003 Parkinson-early diagnosis should bled ease In the degeneration of dopaminergen Neuronen, Neuromelanin is released / proof in the blood MIAMI (nsi). Annually about two thousand persons in Germany learn that they have Morbus Parkinson, many of them first if already movement interferences appear. An on Neuromelanin in the future an early diagnosis should bled enable. In the animal trial, the test already functioned. Morbus Parkinson expresses itself first of all often to unspezifisch with symptoms as well as depression and pain in the back or in the Extremitäten. Because an early therapy causes for example with substances as well as Coenzym Q and Ropinirol possibly neuroprotektiv and brakes the illness progress, is a quick diagnosis meaningful. In addition developed professor Peter Riederer of the University of Würzburg with colleagues one bled, that the clinical diagnostics could supplement and it could ease in the future, to recognize Morbus Parkinson early. Riederer introduced the test at a neurologist-congress in Miami in Florida. In the test, Neuromelanin in the blood is proved. It would be released if dopaminerge or noradrenerge Neurone degenerated, so Riederer. The substance arrives in Liquor and blood. In the blood, she could be proved by means of specific antibody, said Riederer in Miami. A satellite transmission to Germany had organized the firm Glaxo SmithKline. In animal trial would have with the test Zellschädigungen in the means brain prove let itself, so the neurologist. Investigations would not have yielded that the test Neuromelanin proves in Parkinsonkranken, however in depression or Chorea Huntington. Now the immune test would have to be tested on Spezifität and Sensitivität. He proves himself, he could clear help a clinically placed suspicion diagnosis and serve possibly the progress inspection in the therapy of Parkinsonkranken.
