A systematic assessment of the consensus reached in other countries, and of articles on AD diagnosis in Brazil available on the PUBMED and LILACS medical databases, was carried out. Recommended laboratory exams included complete blood count, serum creatinine, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), albumin, hepatic enzymes, Vitamin B12, folic acid, calcium, serological reactions for syphilis and serology for HIV in patients aged younger than 60 years with atypical clinical signs or suggestive symptoms. Structural neuroimaging, computed tomography or - preferably - magnetic resonance exams, are indicated for diagnostic investigation of dementia syndrome to rule out secondary etiologies. Functional neuroimaging exams (SPECT and PET), when available, increase diagnostic reliability and assist in the differential diagnosis of other types of dementia. The cerebrospinal fluid exam is indicated in cases of pre-senile onset dementia with atypical clinical presentation or course, for communicant hydrocephaly, and suspected inflammatory, infectious or prion disease of the central nervous system. Routine electroencephalograms aid the differential diagnosis of dementia syndrome with other conditions which impair cognitive functioning. Genotyping of apolipoprotein E or other susceptibility polymorphisms is not recommended for diagnostic purposes or for assessing the risk of developing the disease. Biomarkers related to the molecular alterations in AD are largely limited to use exclusively in research protocols, but when available can contribute to improving the accuracy of diagnosis of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1980-57642011dn05030004","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,23]],"date-time":"2016-07-23T13:14:13Z","timestamp":1469279653000},"page":"167-177","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease in Brazil: Supplementary exams"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Paulo","family":"Caramelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio L\u00facio","family":"Teixeira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carlos Alberto","family":"Buchpiguel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hae Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Ant\u00f4nio","family":"Livramento","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liana Lisboa","family":"Fernandez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal University of Health Sciences Foundation of Porto Alegre,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renato","family":"Anghinah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of S\u00e3o Paulo,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1143","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.56.9.1143","article-title":"Practice parameter: diagnosis of dementia (an evidence-based review).
