The authors should note that previous reports of AAA as an aid to the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease have been limited largely to studies of normals and patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. They correctly state that we have little to no information on the level of AAA in MCI, and thus little indication of whether or not this is an early marker. The other important information missing from this review is the specificity of AAA for Alzheimer's disease compared to other causes of dementia. Anecdotal information, widely discussed some years ago, suggested that AAA was elevated whenever there was organic brain damage, regardless of the cause. This was certainly true of CSF measurements, where elevated AAA accompanied stroke, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's Disease and CJD. The urinary test was marketed with this data in mind, and it was said that a normal level of AAA was able TO RULE OUT Alzheimer's disease - and indeed it did. In the absence of brain injury or degeneration, the level was normal, but there was absolutely no specificity for Alzheimer's disease in comparison to other causes of dementia. This caveat needs to appear in this review, to prevent researchers who don't know the history of this marker from pursuing a dead end.
