ServiciosMemory and Cognitive Disorders Unit

In the Memory and Cognitive Disorders Unit (such as Alzheimer’s disease, among others), we offer early and accurate diagnosis of memory disorders and other cognitive alterations.

We have a specialised team and use advanced techniques such as PET-CT, lumbar puncture and plasma biomarkers (indicators that confirm the brain’s pathological process) to diagnose both early-stage cases and the most complex ones.

 

Early diagnosis and specialised, comprehensive support

Our commitment goes beyond diagnosis and treatment: we provide comprehensive and personalised support for both the patient and their family environment.

Tests

Advanced tests for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other dementias

To carry out an early, accurate and personalised diagnosis, our Memory and Cognitive Disorders Unit in Valencia uses a combination of clinical tests and state-of-the-art technology. These tests allow us to differentiate between the various types of dementia, assess their severity and determine the most appropriate treatment for the symptoms:

  • Comprehensive neuropsychological assessment: We perform specialised tests that evaluate memory, language, orientation and other cognitive functions, as well as the patient’s emotional and functional status. These assessments are essential both for detecting early-stage degenerative cognitive impairment and for patient follow-up.
  • Brain MRI (3-Tesla MRI): We have the most precise MRI technology available, with 3-Tesla equipment that offers high-resolution imaging to detect structural brain changes associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Amyloid PET-CT scan: This advanced neuroimaging technique identifies the build-up of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease, even before symptoms appear.
  • Amyloid PET-CT scan: This advanced neuroimaging technique identifies the build-up of beta-amyloid plaques in the brain, a key feature of Alzheimer’s disease, even before symptoms appear.
  • Plasma biomarkers: A non-invasive technology with emerging validation in clinical practice, allowing the avoidance of CSF biomarkers and PET in a significant proportion of patients.

Useful information

When should you seek a specialist consultation?

The early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia can be subtle and difficult to recognise. It is important to seek specialist assessment if you notice:

  • Recent memory loss (e.g. repeated questions or comments…)
  • Difficulty carrying out usual tasks.
  • Disorientation in time and place (e.g. sometimes subtle doubts about orientation)
  • Sudden changes in mood and personality (e.g. onset of irritability)
  • Difficulty producing certain words

If you notice changes in your memory or that of a loved one, book a specialist consultation for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia at our unit in Valencia. We will support you from the very beginning.
