"Rare Instances of Transmitted Alzheimer's Disease Today: What You Need to Know"
A recent study suggests that Alzheimer's disease may have been transmitted from person to person through the use of human growth hormone (hGH) derived from cadaveric pituitary glands before 1985. The study found evidence of early-onset Alzheimer's in recipients of this hGH, raising concerns about the potential transmission of the disease. However, the risk of such transmission today is considered to be incredibly low due to changes in hGH production methods. The findings highlight the potential for diseases to be transmitted through medical treatments and the need for ongoing research in this area.
