Overview

The diagnosis of CJD is suspected when there are typical clinical symptoms and signs such as rapidly progressing dementia with myoclonus. Analysis of CSF for 14-3-3 protein is done to establish probable diagnosis. Positive 14-3-3 protein in CSF analysis makes the diagnosis of CJD probable but it is not diagnostic of CJD.[1]

Laboratory Tests

  • Routine laboratory tests are normal in Creutzfeldt Jakob disease. Liver function tests could be abnormal in some cases.[2]
  • Presence of following protein markers in addition to 14-3-3 (in CSF) has also been associated with CJD:
