Neurofilament “NfL“ biomarker and prognostic factor in ALS
Neurofilament “NfL“ concentration is an expression of the disease process and a prognostic factor for ALS progression. However, interpretation of serum NfL concentration is only meaningful and informative in the context of other prognostic factors of ALS.
Our NfL analysis helps to provide a better prognostic estimate for the individual progression of ALS. This may be useful for further treatment and care planning. In principle, the more precise assessment of the course of the disease can be of importance for the further organization of life as well as for the arrangement of medical, technical and social support.
