But the neurologist said he has Alzheimer’s.
His labs through the test say he has plaque. I’m confused on the results.
He said he is positive for Alzheimer’s.

Amyloid plaque is a key finding in Alzheimer’s Disease.

Let’s see, it is sort of like heart disease. You have calcified arteries and as a result you have heart disease.

In the case of Alzheimer’s, you have amyloid plaque - a sticky substance that adheres to the surface of the Brain and interferes with neurons ability to communicate. And that impact on how the brain can connect and carry signals across itself is Alzheimer’s.

I believe the medicine he is taking is designed to breakup and remove the amyloid plaque over time.

It is confusing isn’t it?
