Description

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD patients with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI) are at increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). Reliable biomarkers are required for objective identification of cognitive decline in PD. In this pilot study, serum levels of well-known mediators of neuroinflammation were measured in PD patients with or without MCI to find out the involvement of neuroinflammation and microglial activation in PD-MCI.
