Patients

Could the diagnose Alzheimer's and Parkisonson's diseasae instead be a treatable CSF disorder?

Up to 10% of all dementia patient could actually suffer from NPH, which is a treatable condition.

If the circulation in the fluid (liquor) surrounding the brain and spinal cord is disturbed, this may lead to the syndrome Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH). The main symptoms are balance and gait difficulties, with or without urinary incontinence and dementia.

Likvor AB has new equipment for assessing the dynamics of this system, to support diagnosis of NPH, as well as for follow-up after surgical treatment.
